Battleground Battleground Match Card and Live Discussion

[Red Rain]

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

So the rumored HHH match is a no-go?
Thank you for reminding me about all the meetings you have at Stamford.
Next time, tell Paul to ease up on the Alicia Fox segs. That chick stinks.

I wonder what Goldust and Stardust are doing Sunday... they aren't booked.

Unless they will be added to something on Smackdown possibly. Hmmm...

M.E.: We all pretty much know the outcome already so, if anything, it's more a matter of how it's going to go down. My take is that Cena will end up pinning Orton with Kane and Reigns occupying each other outside the ring, if not knocked out already. I also feel that at some point Kane will appear to going for it and chokeslam Orton before getting speared by Reigns. Another attempt for Rollins to cash in his MITB contract looks very possible - plan B after all - but of course Ambrose will make sure once more that won't happen. That, I believe, will lead to...plan C, as Heyman put it nicely, though on the following night, on RAW. To me, it makes more sense that they keep the...suprise for the following night and most likely in the opening segment. You know, Cena comes out, the champ is still here, blah blah and oh wait, boom.

Tag Team Championship: Nice run for the Usos but the Wyatts should finally get the gold. It's just been waiting to happen and I won't be suprised to see a rematch for the titles on the very next night, on RAW.

Battle Royal for the IC title: To be honest, I really can't put my finger on it just yet. While Cesaro could have been one of the top candidates, he recently lost his momentum so probably not. On the other hand, imagine Cesaro winning it and then Lesnar winning the WWEWHC on Summerslam, huh? Somebody stop Heyman...
Another thought, would they actually give the Miz a run with it?

Swagger vs Rusev: Unlike most, in what I expect to be a good matchup, I feel Rusev's undefeated streak will stay in tact for just a bit longer.

Y2J vs Bray Wyatt: Jericho should win. I found it quite interesting that there we "boring" chants at Bray Wyatt on RAW this past Monday during another one of those speeches of his and perhaps a sign that the WWE should consider taking his character to some other level.

Divas Championship: Couldn't really care less but most like AJ Lee will retain.

Rollins vs Ambrose: Though I thing Ambrose deserves to win, they will probably continue pushing Rollins.

A solid card for a B PPV, I'm sure this will be a contender for PPV of the year if everyone delivers. That kickoff match can go either way.

Sandow and Rose were both pulled from the Battle Royale.. I need answers.
Better not have Sandow vs Rose again without a fucking build up.

They realized there was 22 people and they wanted a 20 man battle royal so they removed those 2... they'll most likely do another stupid Sonic commercial during the PPV.

So lame.. Diego, Heath Slater, Xavier Woods.. Joke-city-woman!

I'd take doing a Sonic commercial over losing in a stupid battle royal match.

Updated the IC battle royal photo... unless something is announced on Smackdown then this should be the last update.

Stardust and Goldust are unbooked for this show.. maybe something will be announced for them.

 

[Red Rain]

It doesn't appear they'll be in an actual match.
It's more probable they'll work a comedy angle on the show.

 

[Snowman1]

Anyway, now that it's the day of the show, is anyone else surprisingly excited for this thing? Someone remind me not to do that... lease:

 

[Brad.]

The 3 singles matches (Ambrose/Rollins, Jericho/Wyatt, Rusev/Swagger) are going to be awesome. The battle royal and Usos/Wyatts will be fun too. This card has more 'PPV matches' than the last two events combined. Shame about the main-event which will be unwatchable.

 

[C.M. Shaddix]

Pre-Show: I literally don't care, either one of them wins, or they hug at the end and dance :/
1.Cena wins LOL
2.Lets see Wyatt overcome Y2J here
3.Bo Dallas, he's the only guy I see winning or he'll be the last one thrown out and Sheamus will win to unify the titles.
4.We're gonna see 2 cute ass girls fight, I just wanna see them put on a good show
5.Wyatts Better Win this time.
6.This is gonna be good... pulling for Ambrose here, but then again on Seth, holy shit this can turn out the best match of the night
7.Ruzev is boring, end of this match's discussion

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

I'm still salty over Damien's removal :/
Whatever still looks like an okay card.. fuck Kane being in that Fatal 4 way though.

 

[Just Kevin]

Cena won't be the champion after tonight... It would be weird to have Cena retain and then not be on RAW. I think either Kane or Reigns gets the title tonight.. if Kane wins it he face turns and goes against the Authority.. if Reigns wins it he goes against the Authority. I don't think Lesnar will show up until Monday.. I also think Sting will debut on Monday as the face GM and Lesnar will confront him on behalf of the Authority.

or maybe I just think too much.

Oh well.. whatever... just BO-lieve! :bodallas:
