Roman Reigns made a huge return to WWE when he attacked “The Fiend” at SummerSlam. He has made it clear that he wants the Universal Championship and will do whatever it takes to get it.

WWE has now announced that there will be a Triple Threat match for the Universal Championship at Payback which is set to take place this Sunday.

“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt will have to defend his Universal Championship barely a week after winning it. He will face Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns in a desperate bid to hold on to the title.

This news has garnered some eyeballs for Payback, that is set to be another creative masterclass. The dream match will feature three powerhouses collide, and only one will walk away with the gold.

Before Payback, another major meeting between the three has also been set. There will be a contract signing on Friday Night SmackDown which is bound to go awry.

I can’t remember the last time a WWE contract signing was done diplomatically. The entire segment will be a prelude of what’s to come at Payback.

Roman Reigns is set to bury “The Fiend” once again

Roman Reigns made a huge comeback after months. The former WWE Champion had opted out of the proceedings due to his health condition.

Braun Strowman has turned out to be the big loser in his feud with Bray Wyatt. Trying to settle a personal vendetta, Strowman has lost everything close to him.

Losing his title was the last straw, and Payback will possibly be the last opportunity for him to vent out his anger towards Wyatt.

“The Fiend” has just been brought back. Making him lose at Payback would be yet another burial for the character. WWE needs to plan its steps carefully here.

Who do you think will emerge victorious in this feud? Considering the three Superstars in the ring and their capabilities, every prediction would be nothing more than an opinion.
