PPV Live Stream

In the past, the primary way of watching a WWE PPV was on cable or satellite, but ever since the launch of the WWE Network, many companies have stopped carrying the events. Considering the WWE Network is only $9.99 and the normal PPV price is $50, most people are happier with the new setup.

Here is a list of devices that support the WWE Network, according to WWE.com:

• Apple TV
• Kindle Fire
• Amazon Fire TV
• PlayStation 3 and 4
• Roku
• Sony Internet TV
• Xbox 360 and Xbox One
• Android devices with WWE app
• iOS devices with WWE app
• WWE.com
• Panasonic SMART TV
• Samsung SMART TV
• Sony Blu-Ray devices

Kickoff Live Stream

Other Payback News and Thoughts

Due to his condition, Daniel Bryan will not compete at Payback or any WWE event in the foreseeable future. He relinquished the Intercontinental Championship on Raw after giving an emotional speech that felt all too familiar.

He was in a similar situation last year following WrestleMania 30. After winning two of the biggest matches of his career and becoming the WWE world heavyweight champion, Bryan suffered a neck injury that forced WWE officials to strip him of the title.

Unless WWE makes a last-minute call and turns one of the scheduled matches into an IC title bout, we will probably have to wait two weeks until the Elimination Chamber PPV to find out who will be the next champion.

Speaking of the WWE world heavyweight champion, we might end up seeing more than the four participants involved. Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble are always at Rollins' side to lend a hand, and since there are no disqualifications or count-outs in this kind of match, they can legally get involved.

Ambrose, Reigns and Orton also have to worry about Kane. Despite his recent issues with Rollins, Kane appears to be on the side of The Authority, and that could lead to him helping Rollins retain the title.

Even with all that, another title match seems to be just as unpredictable. The New Day have been using the Freebird rule, which allows all three men to defend the tag titles using different combinations of members.

Since their bout against Kidd and Cesaro is a 2-out-of-3 Falls match, it could mean the champions could pull a fast one and use different participants for each fall, thereby keeping themselves fresh.

Payback is one of those PPVs that could be a great show or a complete disappointment. The card has potential, but it all depends on the quality of the wrestling and the booking decisions that are made.
