A highly anticipated clash is on the horizon as Rollins and Nakamura are set to collide at WWE Payback. The impending championship showdown received official confirmation during the August 21 broadcast of WWE Raw, immediately following a promo featuring Shinsuke Nakamura.
The genesis of the conflict between Rollins and Nakamura traces back to the August 7 episode of Raw. During a six-man tag match involving Nakamura, Rollins, and Cody Rhodes against the Judgment Day, Nakamura blindsided Rollins. A mere week later, Nakamura boldly expressed his desire for a chance at Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship, a challenge that Rollins swiftly accepted.
