So, I was trying to figure out what time the WWE Payback event was going down. It’s one of those things you don’t want to miss, you know?
First off, I did a quick search to get the basic info. I found out that the event was scheduled for Saturday, September 2nd, 2023. That was easy enough.

Then, I wanted to know the exact time it would start. This is where it got a bit tricky. The start time seems to vary depending on where you are located. For example, I saw something about the time in India, but that wasn’t really helpful for me, because you know, I’m not there.
I also noticed that the event was being held at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. That’s a cool place, I’ve seen some hockey games there before. But again, the location didn’t really tell me when to tune in.
I kept digging and found out that Payback is available on something called Peacock and the WWE Network. I’ve got both of them. So, I figured I just needed to check the schedule on one of those platforms. It is simple, right?
Oh, and I stumbled upon some news about the matches. It looks like Seth Rollins was going up against Shinsuke Nakamura for the World Heavyweight Championship. I guess they’ve been having some beef lately, sounds like it would be an intense match.
Anyway, after all that searching and reading, I finally found the start time for my location. It’s usually around 8 PM Eastern Time, but sometimes they have a pre-show that starts an hour earlier.

Here’s what I ended up doing:
- Checked the date: Saturday, September 2nd, 2023.
- Figured out the location: PPG Paints Arena, Pittsburgh.
- Looked up where to watch it: Peacock and WWE Network.
- Found the main event: Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura.
- Finally got the start time: 8 PM Eastern Time, with a possible pre-show at 7 PM.
