3) Another Match Confirmed For Payback
This one was announced about an hour before RAW but we are counting it anyways. It was confirmed that Samoa Joe will be facing off against Seth Rollins at WWE Payback.
Rollins was on commentary for Joe’s match against Chris Jericho on RAW this week. Joe won the match and him and Rollins exchanged words afterwards,

This will be a grudge match since Samoa Joe injured Rollins prior to Wrestlemania. Should be an awesome match between two talented guys!
4) Another Drifter Appearance
Before a commercial break on RAW, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were shown walking around in the backstage area.
They walked by a familiar face playing his guitar: ‘The Drifter’ Elias Samson! He showed up last week on both RAW and Smackdown Live in the background. He continued the trend on RAW:

I have to say, I LOVE the way that they are booking the Drifter so far. He also made the ‘LIST of Jericho’ later in the night for drifting behind his promo.
