From its inaugural event on June 16, 2013 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, Payback replaced No Way Out and quickly became a key stop on WWE’s calendar. The annual event continued through 2017, with 2017 featuring Raw-brand-only matches. After a brief hiatus, Payback returned in 2020 at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, within the WWE ThunderDome era. The brand made its 2023 return on September 2 at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, hosted by John Cena, and marked a historic shift as the first Payback to stream on Peacock in the United States. The 2023 event set records for viewership, gate, merchandise, and social engagement, underscoring Payback’s lasting resonance with fans. As of 2024, the Payback series has not been scheduled again and has been regarded as concluded, with Bash in Berlin replacing the slot in WWE’s event lineup.
