Seth Rollins Vs Shinsuke Nakamura Title Match Set for WWE Payback – Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura are set to clash at WWE Payback.
The title match was confirmed on the August 21 episode of WWE Raw, shortly after a compelling promo delivered by Shinsuke Nakamura was broadcast.
During the August 14 episode of WWE Raw, Nakamura whispered something to WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, visibly unsettling him. Nakamura later unveiled that he had whispered, “I know about your back,” to Rollins. He went on to explain his awareness of Rollins’ longstanding battle with injuries. With this revelation, Nakamura expressed his intent to exploit Rollins’ vulnerabilities.
Subsequently, Rollins was prompted to address Nakamura’s comments later in the episode. He disclosed that he has been contending with two fractures in his lumbar spine for over four years. Rather than improving over time, the injury has only worsened. Uncertain about the eventual outcome, Rollins acknowledged the challenges of his condition, expressing uncertainty about how much longer he can maintain his current level of performance. While acknowledging the inherent physical demands of his profession, Rollins challenged Nakamura to confront him face-to-face the following week.
In a previous appearance on Impaulsive in July, Rollins indicated that he may need surgery for his back, but he is actively trying to avoid it.
