Reason Why WWE Payback Is Taking Place After SummerSlam, Dragon Gate

On Twitter, Dave Meltzer said that the reason WWE is running the Payback pay-per-view event just one week after SummerSlam is an experiment by the company. The feeling is that WWE will have a “hot angle” following SummerSlam that will carry over into Payback for possible resolution to the angle or continuation of a particular plot and/or storyline.

Just an experiment to see how it works. They must have an idea for a hot angle coming off SummerSlam that they felt needed an immediate follow-up. That or, it was just an idea they are trying. https://t.co/1yLK6Z4xYv

Having been around wrestling promoters for 38 years and covering Vince virtually that entire time, it is the first conclusion you'd come to. That's how he operates and always will operate. https://t.co/JQLIypofR3
