It’s been a whirlwind week in WWE. Roman Reigns returned to the ring at SummerSlam a week ago, destroying both « The Fiend » Bray Wyatt, who had just won the Universal Championship, and Braun Strowman, who had just lost the Universal Championship. On Friday’s SmackDown, Reigns aligned himself with Paul Heyman. Does this mean he’s a bad guy now? Is he going to be new Universal Champion? At least one of these questions will be answered at Payback, as The Fiend puts up his title in a triple threat match with Reigns and Strowman. We’ll also see Keith Lee hopefully have a breakout performance against Randy Orton, as well as Bayley and Sasha Banks defend their Women’s Tag Team Championships against Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. This page will be updated with results and analysis once the main show kicks off at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET. The women’s tag team champion defend against their strange bedfellows opposition next. Matt Riddle pinned Baron Corbin after a Floating Bro corkscrew moonsault, which Michael Cole implausibly called « the win of Matt Riddle’s career. » Riddle entered the match in a huff, with Corbin having tweeted something about Riddle being a dodgy husband.
