Background

Payback will consist of professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that play out on IWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown. Wrestlers will portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
At WrestleMania 32, Roman Reigns defeated Triple K to win the IWE World Heavyweight Championship for the third time. The following night on Raw, Reigns issued a open challenge for the championship, which was answered by Khris Jericho, KJ Styles, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. This set up a Fatal four-way #1 contender match later in the show, but Owens attacked Zayn, rendering him unable to compete in the match; he was replaced by a returning Cesaro. Styles won the match, earning a title match against Reigns at Payback. The following week, Zayn, after being unable to compete the previous week, faced Styles in a match set up by Shane Matteson where he would gain entry into the title match if he won, but Styles was victorious.
At WrestleMania 32, Zack Ryder won a 7-man ladder match to win his first Intercontinental Championship. The following night on Raw, Ryder lost the title to The Miz. Cesaro defeated Kevin Owens on the following edition of Raw to become the #1 contender for the championship and earn a title match against Miz at Payback.
On the April 11 episode of Raw, Shane Matteson started a tournament where the winners will face The New Day for the IWE Tag Team Championship at Payback.
