Rumored full card for WWE Payback PPV
Submitted by Aaron Rift on 08/25/2020 at 12:33 PM


Coming off this week's WWE RAW, here are the confirmed matches for WWE Payback which airs this Sunday on the WWE Network:

Universal Title (No Holds Barred)
Bray Wyatt (c) vs. Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns

Women's Tag Team Titles
Bayley & Sasha Banks (c) vs. Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler

United States Title
Apollo Crews (c) vs. Bobby Lashley

Randy Orton vs. Keith Lee





The following matches matches are rumored due to recent storyline progression:

IC Title
Jeff Hardy (c) vs. AJ Styles (title rematch from last week)

Matt Riddle vs. King Corbin (been building for weeks)

Big E vs. Sheamus (rematch from last week that ended with a rollup)

Kevin Owens vs. Aleister Black (angle done on RAW but not officially announced)

[improper]

Whoever decided to have PPVs on back to back weeks should be fired.

Also, it's insane that it's Thursday and we still don't even know the full card. I know Smackdown is on Friday, but this is just the height of lazy booking. How can you hype up matches in two days?
