WWE announced two matches and a segment for Payback this week on SmackDown. First up, Rey Mysterio will defend the United States Title against Austin Theory. Mysterio defeated Theory to win the title earlier this month. Second, LA Knight will face the Miz in a grudge match. Finally, Cody Rhodes will appear as a special guest on the Grayson Waller Effect. There is no word on what Rhodes will be discussing.

It was a busy night. Check out what some of the people were up to:

Opinion: Sometimes a major event needs a night like this one and it went about as well as could be expected. There were a lot of things going on with WWE this week and Payback was one of them. They did about as well as they could all things considered and now we get to see how next Saturday’s show will play out. At least now we know a lot more about what we will be seeing.
