WWE Payback 2017 takes place tonight from the SAP Center in San Jose, California. Join us here later tonight for our WWE Payback Results & Live Coverage.
If you haven’t already, make sure to check out our WWE Payback Predictions.
Kickoff Show:
- Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows
Winner of this match is most likely the next in line to challenge for the tag titles, depending on what happens with the Hardyz vs. Cesaro & Sheamus later. - MizTV Segment: w/ Finn Balor
Balor doesn’t get a match on the PPV, possibly a cautionary move due to his concussion 3 weeks ago.
Main Show:
- WWE Raw Tag Team Championship Match
the Hardy Boyz (c) vs. Cesaro & Sheamus
This will be the Hardyz 2nd title defence, their first coming the night after WrestleMania. Matt beat Sheamus, and Jeff beat Cesaro in the last 2 weeks on Raw. - US Championship Match
Kevin Owens (c) vs. Chris Jericho
Probably the final match in a storyline which started before SummerSlam last year. - House of Horrors Match
Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt
It is not altogether clear if the WWE championship is on the line in this match. WWE.com does not specifically mention the Orton’s championship being up for grabs, though that doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t. None of the storytelling leading up to the match has indicated the title is on the line either. - Cruiserweight Championship
Neville (c) vs. Austin Aries
Rematch from WrestleMania. Neville won the first bout after raking Aries’ surgically corrected eye to gain an advantage. - Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman
This will be the 2nd PPV match between the two, with Roman having won the first at Fastlane. - Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe
Joe made Jericho tap out 2 weeks ago on Raw, and has looked strong ever since debuting on the main roster. If Joe is beating top-level guys clean as a heel on Raw, it means they are high on him. - WWE Raw Women’s Championship
Bayley (c) vs. Alexa Bliss
As Payback is in Bayley’s hometown, and no Universal title on the line, there is a high probability that this match goes on last. There’s no guarantee Bayley wins however, as Charlotte beat Sasha Banks in the main event of a PPV which was in Banks’ hometown, so all bets are off.
Alexa Bliss has been a success story since arriving on the main roster. Bliss rarely wrestled in NXT and served more as a manager.
