Payback (2015) is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE. It will take place on May 17, 2015, at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.[1] It will be the third event under the Payback chronology. It will be the first Payback event to be held outside of the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. Payback will be available for free to new subscribers on WWE's monthly subscription service, the WWE Network in over 140 countries.[2][3]
Background
Payback will feature professional wrestling matches that involve wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that play out on WWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown. Wrestlers will portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4][5]
At WrestleMania 31, John Cena defeated Rusev to win the United States Championship. Following a rematch at Extreme Rules, Cena retained the title by defeating Rusev in a Russian Chain match. Later in the event, after visiting The Authority, Lana announced that Cena would defend the title against Rusev in an "I Quit" match at the event.[6]
At Extreme Rules, Seth Rollins defeated Randy Orton in a Steel Cage match to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.[6] On the April 27 episode of Raw, after Orton and Roman Reigns defeated Rollins and Kane, it was announced, by vote on the WWE App, that Rollins would defend the title against Orton and Reigns in a Triple Threat match at the event.[7] On the May 4 episode of Raw, Dean Ambrose defeated Rollins, and per match stipulation, he was added to the match, thus making the match a Fatal Four Way match.[8]
