We are less than a week away from this year’s edition of the Payback pay-per-view. This is the first WWE PPV this year after WrestleMania 32 and the match card looks promising and a couple of matches on the card have the potential to steal the show.
A lot has happened on RAW since WrestleMania and Shane McMahon has given the WWE universe some top quality matches to look forward to. Many debuts have taken place since Mania and the match card is good enough to contain matches featuring the debutants. With all these said, there are some things that the WWE fans should know about- Date, Place, Tickets and What to Watch!
Date and Place
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
The event is scheduled to take place on May 1, 2016 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. The action will begin at 8E/5P (8 PM in New York (Eastern Time Zone) and 5 PM in Los Angeles (Pacific Time Zone)).
Payback is strategically a very important event for the company as this is the time to continue from where they left. The first PPV after WrestleMania means a lot to everyone in the WWE circles and to meet the expectations, efforts are a must. The creative team has already shown a lot of character by giving us a match card that looks very promising and interesting.
Tickets
The sale of tickets for Payback is open. This arena has a capacity of 18,500 and the WWE team would love to have a 100% attendance.
Tickets are available in the range $25-$500 (excluding fee at checkout). A maximum of 8 tickets were given for one booking and the tickets are available in four different categories. In the official WWE website, it was mentioned that tickets will be available at ‘Ticketmaster.com’ and the Allstate arena box office.
Tickets can also be booked by phone at (800) 745-3000.
What to Watch
The show will be broadcast on several online platforms. Officially, the WWE network and Pay-per view are listed by the company. Several other platforms also broadcast the show. If you do not have an online facility, don’t worry folks! You can watch it on Ten Sports.
This year’s event has got a lot of interesting matches and don’t miss the action. Some of the big matches in this year’s event are- Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn, Dean Ambrose vs. Chris Jericho and the Intercontinental Championship match between The Miz and Cesaro.
Payback will be a perfect platform for Sami Zayn to seek redemption on his arch-rival, Kevin Owens and this match was built on an excellent storyline over the months. This will also be Reigns' first title defense since his victory over Triple H at WrestleMania 32. Cesaro has returned and many expect him to become the new IC Champ.
