13) A Great Ending To The House Of Horrors (Storyline Wise)
After his limo ride, post-House of Horrors, Bray Wyatt made his way to the ring. Randy Orton appeared out of nowhere to attack Bray. It turned into a regular match in the middle of the ring.
Orton was attacked by the Singh Brothers, followed by Jinder Mahal! This allowed Bray to hit ‘Sister Abigail’ for the 1-2-3. We thought that this was a great ending.
The feud between Wyatt and Orton is officially over. Bray picks up a much-needed victory. Orton loses but looks strong because it took 4 guys to take him down. This also continues the tension between Jinder and Orton moving forward.

I thought everyone won with that ending.
14) Braun Strowman Pinned Roman Reigns!
One of the marquee matches of Payback was the clash between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. WWE fans haven’t seen Reigns on TV since he was brutalized by Strowman on RAW several weeks back (including the infamous Ambulance tip).
Roman was not 100% coming into the match and paid for it. Strowman was able to pin Reigns clean after a solid match. Strowman’s big push continues!

Strowman took out Reigns after the match with the steel steps. It was a vicious assault, leaving him bloodied up. It is clear that this feud is far from over.
