WWE: Payback 2023
 

Who the hell is that dude fighting Cody?

It's a talk show segment with Grayson Waller. He shows a lot of promise.

Ah, ok... I have heard of the name... think I have even seen him once or twice and thought "meh, Miz is better".... I don't know why, but I keep doing that with all the new heels that they try to push lately.

Sir, do you remember how awkward Miz was when he first started in the WWE?

I don't know what you're talking about. Hoo-Rah!

Fun fact, Grayson Waller played Ric Flair in the first season of Young Rock!

But also, if Cena is the host of Payback, isnt Grayson Waller hosting a show on the show John Cena is hosting, like doesnt that mean exo facto that John Cena is hosting the Grayson Waller Effect?

Cena about to turn heel on the Roller Codester!

Oh and I know why, it is because Miz is better :yes:

Trish with the Widow's Peak and head grab like Victoria. Becky follows up with a Twist of Fate for Lita.

Trish Stratus out here taking multiple top rope bumps for absolutely no reason other than the love of the game.

So much respect for her

That was a great cage match.

And holy shit man LA Knight not just getting a pop, he is getting people jumping up out of their seats level pop.

Hope this isn't the end of Trish Stratus' run. I've enjoyed having her back.

Hate that the tag titles are silver, but the wrestlers still talk about "we have the gold".

That tag match was a roller coaster.

There you go Uce!

Yikes at Raquel botching the powerbomb.

Rollins making his entrance first in the main event makes me wonder if Priest is going to get involved...

Damb @ Nakamura's anime-inspired promo.

Whoa @ The Great Muta in attendance.

Im hyped for this match, should be a banger

I know it's unlikely but I'd love to see Nakamura win the title.

Very good PPV, and no reports of anybody sucker punching anybody else!

I watched the main event for my boy, Nakamura. Very talented pro-wrestler. I felt that some of their stuff was a bit too…rhythmic. Looked like they were working drills at time. Shinsuke is sublime though. His facial expressions and how he threads a story in to what he’s doing. Not sure he was always doing that in Japan.

Bored by Seth. Think the crowd is getting that way too. It’s just a sing along for him now.

Yes. Put the belt on him now. He's not getting younger.

Hope this is not a rehash of the Styles/Nakamura feud where Nakamura lost every match.

Does Noid know that Nakamura and Funaki are two separate Japanese wrestlers? Creepy…
