WWE Payback 2016 on May 22 will be in Newark, New Jersey, with the Prudential Center announcing the ticket sale with an image of Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. The choice of picture could be a clue that the two men will be wrestling each other for the WWE Championship at the event. Ambrose has been on a slow burn heel turn for a long time, and the expectation was that he'd be feuding with Reigns this spring for the WWE Title. The Payback image is strong evidence that WWE are indeed going down that route. With a main event push towards Reigns' title, it could mean Ambrose is due to go over Brock Lesnar at April's WrestleMania. Dave Meltzer has confirmed that Ambrose Lesnar is the booking for Mania, after WWE decided to drop the planned Bray Wyatt Lesnar match. As for Reigns, he is looking like a certainty to defeat Triple H for the WWE Title. The Prudential Center confirmed their event by tweeting "JUST ANNOUNCED! The Rock will host @WWE Payback on May 22! Presale starts tomorrow at 10AM!" In referencing The Rock, they are referring to the venue, and not the WWE legend. Perhaps that was a deliberate wording to generate some buzz for their show!
