This Sunday we will witness the first Raw-exclusive PPV after Wrestlemania 33. The Payback PPV will make its return to the SAP Center in San Jose, California. It will be the fifth edition of the PPV since its invention in 2013.
Following this Monday Night Raw, we have learned about the updated match card for the show. There will be a total eight number of matches and one segment in the PPV main show and the kick-off show. We learned about the contents of the kick-off show as updates were given by the WWE.
Firstly, a big tag team match was confirmed on the show which will take place one hour prior to the main show. Gallows and Anderson are in a feud with Enzo and Big Cass for quite a long time.

This reached to an extreme point after Gallows-Anderson delivered a pre-meditated assault to their bitter rivals on this week’s Raw. Quite expectedly, the Raw General Manager sanctioned the match and it was made official for the Payback kick-off show.

Also, a major segment was announced on the same show. The Miz and Maryse will host a very special edition of the Miz TV. There will be a first-time guest on the show who is none other than the Demon King, Finn Balor.
A brawl is certainly expected to break out at some point with Balor coming up on the top. Check out WWE.com giving us some updates regarding the segment:
“If The Miz has taught us anything, it’s that he is at his most dangerous when he is feeling disrespected. Then again, with Bálor on such a role as of late, does the A-Lister really want to cross him? If he pushes the Irish Superstar too far, Payback Kickoff may just witness a “Must-See” Coup de Grâce.”
The kick-off show will start to stream live on the WWE Network from 7 PM onwards on 30th April. It will also be available live on numerous other platforms like WWE.com, the WWE App, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Google+.
