WWE Payback 2023: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True
2. An Unwanted Tag Title Change
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have defended their Undisputed Tag-Team Titles five times on TV/PLE since winning them amidst much fanfare back at WrestleMania 39. The tag division hasn't quite exploded like many thought it would with them at the helm, but they're still super-over and everyone knows the match with Judgment Day at Payback will soar in-ring.
Finn Bálor and Damian Priest winning would suck though.
Oh yes, it's true. Judgment Day has carried a ton of Raw shows this year, but WWE don't need to awkwardly patch up Finn and Damian's fractured friendship by booking them to dethrone Sami and Kev. In fact, that'd be a mistake, and one that'd squash the chances of a fresh team getting the rub by taking those belts later on.
Priest is heading out of JD eventually. He has the MITB briefcase, a singles push in-waiting, and defo doesn't need some short tag title reign for the hell of it. Keep those straps exactly where they are.
