Matt Riddle has a huge opportunity tonight at WWE Payback

It was previously reported that Vince McMahon was impressed with Matt Riddle's debut on WWE SmackDown and wants to elevate his position on the roster. At WWE Payback, Riddle will lock horns with King Corbin in a singles match. The two have been feuding for a few weeks now, and this could be the end of their rivalry.

The build-up to their WWE Payback match also saw Chad Gable make his return. He would often team up with Corbin and blindside Riddle before attacking The Original Bro. It is possible that he will interfere in the match tonight. However, the backstage reports still suggest that Matt Riddle is going to win the match, and it would kickstart his push on SmackDown.
