Battleground Battleground Match Card and Live Discussion

[Red Rain]

But what if they justify it as Triple H paying off Lesnar? Even in kayfabe I can kinda see the Lesnar character taking the money.

Lesnar will definitely show up at Battleground. If Kane turns (and subsequently feuds with Orton for Summerslam), the odds increase Lesnar will take everybody out. If Lesnar is hired by HHH, Orton will be pi**ed. Instead of getting his vengeance, HHH will make him prove his worth again by challenging Kane.

No.

 

[Just Kevin]

No.

It looks like that's where it is heading unfortunately... there were many hints at it tonight.

 

[Red Rain]

No.

Just Kevin suggested it. I'm slightly leaning in that direction. I can't see Orton doing too much else for Summerslam besides feuding with Kane.

Pretty sure that it's Reigns vs Orton at SS.

there is actually a PPV called battleground?

sounds like a shitty UFC PPv name in 2005

Orton and Kane can go stand in the line at Sonic at Battleground.

so far this Orton/Kane stuff just feels like typical shitty Fatal 4 way match build nowadays. "Don't worry, the heels aren't actually gonna work together kiddies, Roman still has a chance!" and probably nothing more than that, much like how Triple was so distrustful of Batista and Orton pre-WM before reforming Evolution like 2 weeks later

They're doing heat between Kane & Orton to stop people asking why Kane wouldn't just let Orton pin him at BG to return the title to the Authority. Makes more sense this way.

 

[The GOAT]

Prediction for the ending of the main event world title match: Cena has Kane pinned and Reigns has Orton pinned. But the referee only sees Cena make the cover (or he sees Cena make the cover first, only about half a second before Reigns covers Orton) and counts the pinfall to declare Cena the winner. When Reigns hears the referee counting, he mistakenly assumes he's counting the pinfall for him and thinks he's won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, only to get up and see the referee raising Cena's arm in victory instead. A good little way of making both men look almost equally victorious while keeping the strap on Cena.

Either that, or just the standard "Reigns spears Orton through the barricade (thus leaving both men incapacitated) while Cena finishes off Kane in the ring."

It was the WWE title match where Triple H and Jeff Hardy both went to cover someone at the end, but the referee only noticed HHH and he won, like Lockard said

I was thinking of Jericho getting a pin as Batista fumbled Rey into a powerbomb later in the night.

Nah that's not what I meant

Because matches finishes are never reused at a later time, right? ity2:

Nearly everything in wrestling ends up recycled at some point.
