Seth Rollins successfully defends WWE World Heavyweight Title against Shinsuke Nakamura
In the main event of WWE Payback Premium Live Event, Seth Rollins emerged victorious over Shinsuke Nakamura to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The highly anticipated match showcased an intense back-and-forth battle, but ultimately ended with Rollins securing a clean win. Following the match, Rollins celebrated his triumph while Nakamura watched on, signaling a potential continuation of their rivalry.
However, the post-show footage released by WWE reveals an unexpected turn of events. As Rollins and Adam Pearce were making their way backstage, Nakamura launched a surprise attack on Rollins from behind. Officials attempted to intervene, but Nakamura relentlessly assaulted Rollins, kicking him while he was down. Rollins managed to rise to his feet, only to be viciously thrown head-first into the LED board on the stage by Nakamura. The Japanese superstar then took a bow before leaving the scene, leaving officials to tend to Rollins.
Rollins, who became the inaugural WWE World Heavyweight Champion by defeating AJ Styles in the tournament finals at Night of Champions on May 27, has now held the title for an impressive 98 days and counting. With the events that unfolded at Payback, it seems that the intense rivalry between Rollins and Nakamura is far from over.
