I thought Payback was a pretty average show with some cool moments. The big shock win of Keith Lee was a highlight.
What did you guys think?

The Reigns win was so horribly booked. I saw people questioning whether he's a heel now or not before the event, but I feel like this is surely a heel move. Coming down after they've already beaten the shit out of each other? Dick move, so heel (also, he's with Heyman now so have to assume he's firmly in the heel books). Although I do have questions over it. He surely had to have "signed" the contract before the match started, which would then be communicated to Strowman and Wyatt. Otherwise, it's an absolutely shit contract as it doesn't have a cut-off point. They even advertised it as a triple threat, so to then go with some "will he won't he" bullshit on the contract signing was an odd choice. Seriously, it's just weird booking with how they did it all. But well done in making Reigns look like a complete dick. Yeah, he's a heel now for sure.
Lee vs Orton didn't go as I expected at all, but I loved it. It's really not often that you see Orton getting destroyed like that.
It was a pretty decent PPV. We've seen a lot worse and I don't think there was a bad match which makes a nice change. For that reason, I'd put it above average.
