The Payback PPV will be taking place this Sunday night in the ‘WWE ThunderDome’. This will come just seven days after the Summerslam PPV.
WWE has now announced a new title match for the event.
It will be Apollo Crews vs Bobby Lashley for the U.S Title. Here is what WWE wrote about the match on their website:
United States Champion Apollo Crews vs. Bobby Lashley
Apollo Crews may have prevailed over MVP, but that doesn’t mean he’s seen the last of The Hurt Business.Crews will have to go through The Hurt Business’ All Mighty when defends his United States Championship against Bobby Lashley at WWE Payback.
Warring with MVP for months, Crews has become the primary target of his loquacious rival’s newly formed battalion. The fast-rising champion turned aside MVP’s best at SummerSlam, but Lashley represents an entirely different challenge with his unparalleled strength.
And few know of Lashley’s brute power better than Crews, who was out of action for weeks after being injured by The All Mighty’s Full Nelson.
Can Crews keep his first-ever title reign rolling, or will Lashley bring the gold home to The Hurt Business?
