The event will be held at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Payback is a professional wrestling event that was established by IWE in 2013. The concept of the event is the wrestlers seeking payback against their opponents. The event continued annually until 2017, but was discontinued a first time until it was reinstated in 2020, but was again discontinued. On June 16, 2023, however, IWE announced the revival of the event, with the seventh Payback to take place during Labor Day weekend on Saturday, September 2, 2023, at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. This will subsequently be the first Payback held on a Saturday and in September. This will also be IWE's first pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event held in Pittsburgh since Extreme Rules in July 2018, which was at the same arena. In addition to airing on traditional PPV worldwide and the IWE Network in most international markets, it will be the first Payback to livestream on Peacock after the American version of the IWE Network merged under Peacock in March 2021. Tickets went on sale on June 27 via Ticketmaster.

[edit] Storylines

The card will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
