The WWE World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line at Payback, where Seth Rollins will defend his belt against Shinsuke Nakamura.
During tonight’s episode of WWE RAW, a video featuring Nakamura popped up, where the superstar explained a mysterious interaction between himself and Rollins last week. Nakamura said that the secret thing that he whispered to Rollins was that he knows Rollins’ main weakness: his back.
Nakamura said that he knows Rollins has had a bad back for years now, and knows he’s in pain from it. He went on to say that he and Rollins are no different, and that the pair have a code they live by, with Rollins’ literally tattooed across his back. He ended the segment by telling Rollins that he should watch his back, because he’s coming for him.
It was then confirmed that Nakamura and Rollins would face off each other at Payback for Rollins’ title.
The fully updated card for WWE Payback, which is set to take place on September 2, 2023, is as follows:
- Steel Cage Match: Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus
