The 2023 Payback is the upcoming seventh Payback professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It will be held for wrestlers from the promotion’s Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event will take place during Labor Day weekend on Saturday, September 2, 2023, at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and will be the first Payback held since 2020. This also marks the first Payback held on a Saturday and in September, as well as the first to livestream on Peacock in the United States and Binge in Australia. This will also be WWE’s first PPV and livestreaming event held in Pittsburgh since Extreme Rules in July 2018, which was at the same arena. The theme of the event is wrestlers seeking payback against their opponents.
