Shield Triple Threat (officially announced)
The dream match we've all been wanting to see ever since the Shield broke up and though easily a Wreslemania caliber match (or at least Summerslam worthy), we get it at Battleground instead. As noted in another thread, the only reason I can think of for why this is happening at this particular time is the upcoming draft since it's rather obvious that by the end of it, these three guys won't be on the same show all together. The way I see it, it's not like WWE couldn't book this match anyway but it is what it is so at this point, I shall once again state what I feel is the obvious: have Roman eat the pinfall, have Dean retain and keep the ball rolling. Even more obvious? Turn Roman heel already; if this ain't the ideal timing, I don't know when is...
Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens (officially announced)
Rumor has it that by Draft day, these guys will go on seperate shows so if this is supoosed to be considered the blow off, I at least expect some kind of stipulation to be added and if RAW two weeks ago was any kind of indication with their brawl that ended up backstage, how about fall counts anywhere? As for the outcome, Sami Zayn winning would probably give him some redemption for when he was originally stabbed in the back by Owens in NXT, however if we look back at the recent PPV's, he's already cost KO several opportunities, whether it was the Royal Rumble or the Mania Ladder match for the IC title or most recently MITB, to name a few so one can easily argue that he's somewhat exacted some revenge. At the end of the day, this can easily go either way but if I had to make a choice right now, I'd go with KO.
The Club vs. John Cena, Enzo & Cass (officially announced)
Aside from this being a very interesting match to begin with, it's also smart booking on behalf of WWE because this gives them the opportunity to save the dream match part 2 for Summerslam. As for the outcome, on one hand one would think that the Club should continue to look strong, thus walk out of Battleground winners, on the other hand Cena has already suffered enough beatings on RAW, not to mention the loss at MITB. And if the Club were to prevail, who would eat the pinfall on the other end? Cena? Nope. Cass? Definetely no. Enzo? Doesn't seem fitting either. So, perhaps some iffy DQ finish? That could probably be one way to look at it and this perhaps would set up Styles vs. Cena part 2 at Summerslam becoming a Cage Match, just so it is certain that no one can interfere.
Becky Lynch vs. Natalya (officially announced)
Can't say I'm really invested in this one but for what it's worth, I feel Becky is due for a big win so I'm guessing she goes over at Battleground...
As for the rest of the card, I wouldn't be surprised if we got another Women's tag match with Charlotte, Dana, Sasha and Paige. Yes, everyone (including me) is excited about the eventual one on one between Sasha and Charlotte but this is something that ought to be saved for Summerslam so, if that indeed is the case, what else is there to do in order to save it for another month?
Rusev vs. Titus O'Neal has already happened once too many times and with Titus being pinned clean every time, there's really no other excuse in order for him to be granted yet another title shot. With that being said, I'd be looking for a new challenger in the upcoming weeks as far as the US title goes. Who, you ask? That's up to WWE to figure out but how about Darren Young? I mean, enough with these promos that have been dragging in what feels like for ever and have this guy make his debut. And just to be clear, Rusev would still retain of course. I see it as a simple situation in which Young's debut doesn't go as well as planned and then him and Backlund try to figure out what went wrong or something. Idk, maybe this sounds silly but at least it's an idea and the way RAW has been running lately, creative seems to be lacking in that department.
Miz vs. Cesaro is match that could be revisited for the IC title since it really never happened. As you all may recall, what started off as a feud ended up becoming a multi-man match so I certainly wouldn't mind to see this feud pick up again...
Million Dollar Question: What to do with Corbin? Interestingly enough, WWE put out a nice video package the other day (kind of felt out of the blue though, didn't it?) so perhaps they do have something in mind; hopefully it ain't Ziggler again. If it were a few years back, I'd probably pick Kane as a nice opponent but nowadays...naaah. Hmm, how does...WE THE PEOPLE sound?
