WWE Payback 2023: Spoiler on Top Match outcomes and a Special Guest Host for PLE

After three back-to-back international events and a spectacular Summerslam 2023, WWE is set to present the Payback 2023 edition, this weekend which feels like a filler premium live event just to consume the slot of a monthly WWE Network Specials.

With top attractions like Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar opting out of the show, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins will be the headliner in his scheduled title defence against Shinsuke Nakamura.

The betting odds are in for WWE Payback, thanks to BetOnline, which indicates that title changes aren’t likely happening at the returning PLE. Seth Rollins is currently the odds-on favourite to retain his title with an impressive -1000 odds.

In the WWE Women’s World Championship Match, Rhea Ripley is another huge favorite with -5000 odds as her opponent, the former women’s tag team champion Raquel Rodriguez is a huge underdog with her odds being +1000.

An exciting steel cage match will be there on the Payback card between Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus. Lynch, expectedly is the favorite to emerge as the winner with -1000 odds so that she could send Trish back to retirement after the PLE.

In other title matches, Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are also favourites to retain against Judgment Day while Rey Mysterio is also expected to continue with his United States Title reign following his rematch against Austin Theory.

WWE Payback premium live event is scheduled for this Saturday, September 2 at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and a piece of massive news coming ahead of the show is that John Cena will be in attendance.

WrestleVotes noted via their Twitter account that there are rumblings about WWE Payback having a very special guest. Since The Cenation Leader is returning, he could be around Pittsburgh for this weekend’s premium live event.

While nothing is confirmed at this point, John Cena will appear on tonight’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown in Hershey, Pennsylvania and we can expect WWE to make his appearance confirmed for Payback PLE.
