Hossamania!

Big E vs Rusev w/ Lana

What happens when an unstoppable hoss meets and immovable hoss?  Well Payback is going to show us as Big E seeks to stop the Bulgarian Russian force from continuing to wreak havoc on the good ole US of A.

Tale of the Tape

Hails from: The chiseled marble of an unknown Greek sculpture

How they got here: A nation alive and in color (we hope)

Rusev

Hails from: Who knows anymore?  He moves around as much as Tyler Breeze

How they got here: By Crushing!

What's at stake?

This simple wrestling match has many geo-political consequences riding on its outcome.  No sporting event has had this much riding on it in terms of international affairs since the Rocky Balboa vs. Ivan Drago showdown in '85.

Will history repeat itself with a U.S. victory?

Or will Russia's super athlete triumph?

Is it possible that a third Nation will rise from the ashes?

You know where you'll find the answers to those and all of your Payback-related questions, right?
