After a three-year layoff, Payback is back on WWE's premium event calendar.

Payback is finally here, as WWE's eighter pay-per-view event will take place on Saturday, September 2, at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. There will be four titles up for grabs along with two matches tailor made for a card in Pittsburgh -- a Steel City Cage Fight for the tag team titles and a Steel Cage match featuring two of the best women to ever wrestle in the squared circle.

Seth "Freaking" Rollins (World Heavyweight champion), Rey Mysterio (United States champion) and Rhea Ripley (women's World whampion) will put their belts on the line against Shinsuke Nakamura, Austin Theory and Raquel Rodriguez, respectively. Meanwhile, Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus will continue their feud in the Steel City with a match enveloped by a metal cage.

In a first ever "Steel City Street Fight" in WWE, best friends and tag team champs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn put their straps up for grabs against the feuding partners of Finn Balor and Damian Priest from The Judgment Day.
