Seth Rollins was on the receiving end of an attack after Payback 2023 went off the air.

The main event of WWE Payback 2023 was a World Heavyweight title match between Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura. In the end, a Stomp ended things for The King of Strong Style, and he lost the match.

After the show went off the air, an irate Nakamura attacked Seth Rollins. As the 43-year-old attacked the World Heavyweight Champion, the capacity crowd collectively chanted, "We want Priest!"

Unfortunately for the crowd in attendance, Priest didn't come out, and no cash-in happened. Judging from Nakamura's attack on Rollins after the show, it's quite clear that the feud is far from over. The Visionary will seemingly defend the World Heavyweight title against Nakamura once again in the near future.

For now, though, Seth has his sights set on a massive tag team match in Hyderabad, India. He will team up with WWE legend John Cena at Superstar Spectacle 2023, and the two megastars will take on Imperium's Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
