While Payback 2017 took place from San Jose, California's SAP Center, one match infamously started away from that arena. Yes, that'd be the House of Horrors between the late, great Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton.

At the time, this House of Horrors (itself a product of Wyatt's vividly creative mind) was depicted - based on the time it took the competitors to return to the arena - as being approximately a 30-minute drive from the SAP Center. In reality, the drive from the Payback venue to the set would've been closer to 30 hours rather than 30 minutes.

As picked up at the time by Sports Illustrated, the House of Horrors was located at 39115 Business 10 Highway, Richmond, Missouri. Not only that, but the property was also listed for sale at the time of Payback 2017, with the house available for the modest sum of $36,000.

Sure, the house and its outbuildings needed a bit of work, but $36,000 seems like a steal for someone wanting to make memories in the one and the same place where Randy Orton had a refrigerator dropped on him...
