Payback 2015 Seth Rollins v Roman Reigns v Randy Orton v Dean Ambrose

At WWE Payback, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins will defend his title against Randy Orton and Roman Reigns in a Triple Threat Match!

The showdown came about in the wake of an enormous controversy surrounding the end of the WWE World Heavyweight Title Match between Rollins and Orton inside a steel cage just 24 hours earlier at Extreme Rules. What better way to lay all questions to rest than by putting The Architect into a match against two intense Superstars who will come at the “Future of WWE” with everything they have in a free-for-all contest in which the titleholder doesn’t even have to be pinned or made to submit to lose his title.

The WWE Universe determined the epic WWE Payback main event in a WWE App vote on the April 27 edition of Raw.

But who will walk out of WWE Payback with sports-entertainment’s most illustrious prize? While it’s impossible to deny that Rollins constantly receives help from The Authority, he is also an absolutely incredible athlete whose arsenal is extremely well-suited for a Triple Threat free-for-all.

Then again, The Viper is … well … The Viper, a 12-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion who is both ruthless and cunning enough to rise above the bedlam.

Yet, perhaps the most dangerous of the three competitors will be Reigns. After Rollins cost him the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania and Big Show denied him his rematch at Extreme Rules, the black-clad Superstar will indeed look for payback on May 17.

With so much animosity pointed in the direction of the reigning titleholder, one has to wonder whether a temporary alliance The Viper and The Big Dog will end end up forming a temporary alliance, and if so, just how long such a partnership might last Before all mayhem breaks lose in this high-stakes battle.
