This PPV will deliver and get rave reviews.

Dean vs Seth is the match I can't wait to watch, the whole beast vs beast for the WWEWHC is pretty cool too, here's hoping they don't muck up the card 'creatively'.

 

[Prince Bálor]

If the Wyatts get another match for the titles against Usos at SS, and happen to lose for the 3rd time in a row, I'd stop watching.

Dean vs Seth has to happen! [HASHTAG]#Money[/HASHTAG]

Miz vs Ziggler seems plausible, as well as Orton vs Reigns or Reigns vs HHH.

 

[Red Rain]

Randy Orton needs to retire or develop a true love for the art.

 

[Prince Bálor]

These are my match predictions for SummerSlam, it might be a bit early, but what the hell...

Bray Wyatt vs Y2J - Pretty obvious
Sheamus vs Rusev - US title
The Miz vs Ziggler - IC title
The Usos vs The Wyatts - This might as well turn into a 6 Man Tag, with Y2J tagging with Usos and Bray with the family
The Usos vs Kofi and Big E - Tag Team championship
Reigns vs Orton
Ambrose vs Rollins
AJ vs Paige - Divas title
Cameron vs Naomi
Stephanie vs Brie
Kane vs Orton

Stephanie is great at working the audience, always has. It's genetic.

I personally thought they should have booked Chris Jericho and The Usos vs The Wyatt Family for Battleground and made us wait till Summerslam to get the awesome 2/3 Falls Match for the Tag Team Championships and the first singles encounter between Jericho and Bray. That would of course meant robbing Battleground of it's only truly memorable match (Usos vs Rowan and Harper), but it was a filler PPV that people were always destined to shit all over anyway, so what difference would it have made.

Regardless, the card that we're getting is still shaping up to be an excellent one. Cena vs Lesnar, Ambrose vs Rollins, Stephanie vs Brie, Jericho vs Wyatt, AJ vs Paige, The Miz vs Ziggler (vs Bo? That's the rumor...), Rusev vs Swagger...

 

[Red Rain]

On a side note, I find it corny that both Stephanie and Brie are dressed in red.
Brock's pose in the promo makes him look like a pure jacka**

What does a flag match mean? I didn't watch RAW.

What does a flag match mean? I didn't watch RAW.

It was announced on Smackdown tonight..

The 2 flags are hung on poles in opposite corners of the ring... you have to incapacitate your opponent to give yourself enough time to climb the turnbuckle and grab your own flag... the first person to grab their flag wins.

That sounds like a really good idea on a number of different levels.
If you've ever watched the movie 'Glory', its a good reference.
Incapacitating is an appropriate word. This feud has a war theme to it. Very fitting.
