Shinsuke Nakamura and Seth Rollins faced off in the main event of WWE Payback, with the Visionary retaining the World Heavyweight Championship in a highly physical and gruelling contest. Despite throwing everything at the champion, Rollins was able to fight through the pain and managed to finally hit a Stomp to put the challenger down for a three count.
However, it appears Nakamura had other plans in mind. In footage shared on social media, Nakamura can been seen attacking the champion from behind as he makes his way up the ramp, carrying on the onslaught until the pair were separated. The Japanese star left to a chorus of boos, while Rollins was seen slowly getting to his feet after the unsporting beatdown.
Elsewhere on the show, Rhea Ripley and Rey Mysterio retained their respective titles, while Rhea's Judgment Day allies Damian Priest and Finn Balor used every trick in the book to beat Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to become tag champions. Becky Lynch also managed to beat Trish Stratus inside a steel cage in a Match of the Year contender, and LA Knight got a major show of respect from John Cena after overcoming The Miz.
The show was capped off with a shock twist when Cody Rhodes revealed Jey Uso is back and part of the Raw roster. Whether the Nakamura-Rollins attack will be aired as part of Monday Night Raw remains to be seen. Regardless, it was certainly an action-packed night of WWE entertainment!
