We noted earlier how it looked like WWE Payback host John Cena may be working with Grayson Waller and Cody Rhodes at tonight’s big event. In an update, it remains to be seen if Cena will be involved in The Grayson Waller Effect, but word now is that he will serve as the special guest referee for LA Knight vs. The Miz.
Tonight’s show is set to feature 2023 WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio defending his United States Title against Austin Theory.
