After a disappointing SummerSlam 2023, Triple H and WWE presented the fans with one of the greatest PLEs in a long time. From a high-paced opening match to a technically great main event, Payback 2023 emerged as a treat. While Becky Lynch began the PLE on a winning note, her husband Seth Rollins finished it off with an expert touch as well.
Seth Rollins overpowered his opponent Shinsuke Nakamura while showcasing great will and strength. The night ended on a happy note for him as he handed Nakamura an embarrassing loss.

Both Rollins and Nakamura are exceptionally talented wrestlers. However, their bout could have only one winner come out of it, and this time, it was The Visionary. Rollins would display his superhuman strength and deliver a powerbomb to Nakamura after almost passing out.
What began as a mind game between Nakamura and Rollins, turned into an extremely physical one at Payback 2023. Rollins would suffer heavy back damage from Nakamura and even almost passed out. However, he would gain momentum, and make a comeback.
Rollins would have a miraculous recovery from Nakamura’s constant offense aimed at his back. The King of Strong Style would make Rollins suffer with repeated strikes and offenses aimed to damage his back before Rollins turned the game around. He handed Nakamura a loss in front of his idol, The Great Muta.
