WWE Payback

WWE Payback is a series of professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming shows made by WWE. The concept of the event is the wrestlers looking for payback against their opponents.

The first event happened on June 16, 2013 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois and took over the slot of No Way Out. Payback then took place yearly until 2017, with that year's event being exclusive to the Raw brand. It then no longer was a yearly show, but the name was used for two events in 2020 and 2023.
