7. Mr. Payback

Shawn Michaels has so often been referred to as Mr. WrestleMania, while Bret Hart, Brock Lesnar, and Edge are amongst those in the conversation when looking at Mr. SummerSlam; be that for match quality or sheer number of wins.

Where Payback is concerned, if there were to be a "Mr. Payback", per se, that man would be Seth Rollins.

It's actually Roman Reigns who has the most appearances at Payback - competing six times - but Rollins has a better record where this PLE is concerned. Of Roman's six outings, he currently stands at 4-2, whereas his former Shield buddy has a 4-1 record to his name.

In Rollins' case, he and Reigns retained the WWE Tag Team Titles against Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton in 2013; the Shield as a full trio defeated Evolution in the main event of Payback 2014; the Architect would successfully defend his WWE World Heavyweight Title against Orton, Reigns, and Dean Ambrose in 2015; there was a Rollins win over Samoa Joe in 2017; and Seth's only loss at Payback came in 2020, when he and Buddy Murphy were bested by Rey and Dominik Mysterio in the ThunderDome.

As for a Miss Payback, there really isn't one, as the only female to compete more than once is Bayley... who's lost both of her Payback matches.
