How the House of Horrors match would be contested at WWE Payback

New Delhi, April 28: Although WWE Payback on this Sunday (April 30) is a Raw-exclusive PPV, we will see the WWE championship from Smackdown on the line. Bray Wyatt will challenge Randy Orton for the coveted prize on the April 30th night.

Now, as we all know, this match will be contested under a special capacity. Favoring Wyatt, this is going to be the first-ever House of Horrors match in the WWE history.

We have expected to get a preview regarding how this match would go down. But, WWE did not provide any such preview for the same on either Raw or Smackdown. So, as of now, we could not receive any update for the same except Dave Meltzer throwing some lights in it.

As per the veteran journalist, some of the portions of the match will be pre-taped. It will go on the air on live television during the PPV. The other half of the match would be contested as real-time. Most probably, we are going to witness the finishing segment in the ring whereas the beginning portion will be taped in another place.



The segment is going to happen at somewhat in a haunted house or compound area where Orton and Wyatt will battle it out. This would come down to the ring for the culmination.

It is expected that the contest will be made a No Disqualification or Falls Count Anywhere match. The winner will be declared either via pinfall or submission.

The rumour mill also suggests that there are chances that this match might not take place as the WWE championship match. This is the reason why Jinder Mahal ran away with the title after this week's Smackdown Live.



This would ensure Bray Wyatt's victory in an environment that clearly favors him. Plus, he needs to win this contest to cement his legacy and gets a fresh start on Monday Night Raw.

In case the championship match remains intact then Orton is a clear favorite to win the contest. It is unlikely that WWE would still hand Wyatt the win and let him hold the championship, once again.

This would mean both the Universal and WWE title on the flagship show. But, the creative does not want to go into such a direction, for sure.
