WWE has confirmed this Sunday’s Universal Championship match at the Payback pay-per-view inside the WWE ThunderDome.

“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt will defend the WWE Universal Championship against Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns in a Triple Threat Match.

Roman Reigns made a surprise return Sunday at WWE SummerSlam. He has been out of action since March 1, working a WWE live event in Syracuse, NY.

His last pay-per-view appearance was at WWE Super ShowDown in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this past February against King Corbin inside a Steel Cage.

Roman Reigns is appearing on tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW.

Earlier today, WWE confirmed Apollo Crews will defend the WWE United States Championship against Bobby Lashley at the event. It also appears Randy Orton will face Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship, but that has yet to be confirmed. Sasha Banks and Bayley will also defend the WWE Women’s Tag-Team Championship at the event.

WWE Payback will air live on pay-per-view and the WWE Network this Sunday, August 30.
