Seth Rollins will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura at Payback. Nakamura has a tall task ahead of him if he wants to take Rollins’ title, but it also seems like he has a very good backup plan.

If anything, the fact that Damian Priest is waiting in the wings could provide the perfect opportunity for him to strike at Payback. After all, Seth Rollins might need a break as World Heavyweight Champion if his back is getting to him.
