WWE Payback 2017 Match Card

WWE Payback 2017 will be the companies first PPV event post-Wrestlemania 33. It will take place on April 30th at the SAP Center in San Jose. This will be a RAW exclusive PPV event. So what matches will be taking place at the event????

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe here), here are some of the matches that are currently rumored for the WWE Payback 2017 match card:

Brock Lesnar is rumored to not be defending the Universal Title at the event.

Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman
  • They have some unfinished business against one another, dating back to before Wrestlemania.

Seth Rollins vs Samoa Joe

  • This one writes itself. Joe is the one that injured Seth before Wrestlemania.

Matt and Jeff Hardy vs Sheamus and Cesaro 

  • Sheamus and Cesaro won the number one contenders match. This could happen in the next few weeks but likely WWE drags it out until Payback.

Either Jericho vs Owens or Balor vs Owens

  • It is also rumored that Finn Balor vs Kevin Owens could take place at the event instead of Jericho vs Owens. Jericho was taken out by Joe and Owens and it could have been WWE’s way to write him off TV. We will have to wait and see.

As for the RAW Women’s Title, expect to see some ladies change brands during the ‘superstar shake-up’ (more details here) that was announced to freshen up both divisions. It is unclear right now who will be facing Bayley.

We will have to wait and see what happens and how the Shake-Up effects things. As of right now, these are the feuds WWE is rumored to be booking for the event.
