Title Match Confirmed for "Payback 2017"

Add it to the card. With the post-Wrestlemania insanity that was last week’s episode of “Monday Night Raw” and this week’s Superstar Shakeup, some people might have forgotten that we’re less than three weeks away from “Payback 2017”. Coming into this week nothing had been announced but one match was officially announced earlier tonight.

This week on “Monday Night Raw”, it was confirmed that Cruiserweight Champion Neville will defend his title against Austin Aries in a rematch from the “Wrestlemania XXXIII” Kickoff Show. Aries won the title shot in a four way last week on “205 Live” (full results available here) by defeating TJ Perkins, Mustafa Ali and Jack Gallagher.

Opinion: That’s the only realistic option to face Neville as Aries is the only challenger who has come close to taking the title from him. The match at “Wrestlemania XXXIII” was outstanding and probably the best match of the night so it makes sense to have Aries get another shot at the title.
