Battleground Will Roman's suspension impact the match?

[Solid Snake]

Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns has been confirmed but Roman will be suspended for 30 days leading right into the PPV that is set for July 24th. Do you think his suspension will have any impact on the match in any way? Do you think that maybe all the attention will end up on Dean and Seth instead of Roman? Will this MIA cost him any progress with the fans?

 

[Prince Bálor]

Things ain't changing for the better, since he's constantly getting heel reactions and the suspension definitely won't help him.

Anyways... As far as the match goes, one thing's for sure... Ambrose is dropping the title. I'd be surprised if he didn't.

I want Rollins to win, but I think it'll be Reigns. Regardless of the outcome, considering that Lesnar's coming back at SummerSlam, he's probably the next #1 contender.

Now... Whether Lesnar loses to Hunt or wins, I think it'll affect how he'll be booked against the man he'll be facing (Rollins/Reigns) at SummerSlam.

If Lesnar wins at UFC 200, I think he'll take either Rollins or Roman's virginity at SummerSlam (or hell, perhaps they'll go with Lesnar/Rollins/Ambrose/Reigns), he will SMASH 'em.

But, if he loses, I think WWE will finally have Rollins/Reigns, presumably Reigns, be the one to beat Bork clean. That's just my theory, but I could be wrong.

EDIT: Sorry for going a bit off topic here.

I'm not sure how the build will work for it since he won't be around.
The suspension came at a weird time, they couldn't suspend him before MITB since he wouldn't be able to drop the belt, but now his return will be cutting close to the actual PPV, so it gives little opportunity for build, for him at least.

I think even without the suspension people in general would be more focused on Ambrose and Rollins anyway.

 

[Black Wizard]

I feel like it's going to cost him a lot of progress with the fans if he comes back right before the PPV with no build and wins.

I really want Ambrose to keep the title, so I would hope they don't have Reigns just come back and win, but WWE usually succeeds in crushing my hopes and dreams.

 

[Rogue]

Definitely think Ambrose is going to retain. Plans right now are probably for Roman to become the four time champion, but I think their mindset will change within the next month.

Putting it back on Roman coming off via suspension is the stupidest thing to do, IF they want him to be the next big face.

 

[Snowman1]

In a perfect world, yes. Because on the 20th anniversary of Austin 3:16, Roman gone, and Ambrose with the belt... Now's the time to cement a new top guy.

Shame that's not a world we live in. RomanWinsLOL

 

[C.M. Shaddix]

Reigns is just flat out gonna win at Battleground and face Lesnar possibly and beat him clean there because Reigns is supposed to look strong.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WWE DON'T DO THAT

Dean retains, Roman faces Lesnar at Summerslam as a heel with Lesnar as the face and Rollins takes on Ambrose again because Ambrose vs. Rollins is money, or another Triple Threat match

 

[Jacob Fox]

I don't believe Roman will win this match. Having him lose the belt, serve a 30 day suspension, only to win the belt back would seem like an actual non punishment. At the moment I am thinking ultimately Ambrose will retain the belt. Just my opinion and I have nothing to really back this up. It's just the way I am feeling at the moment.

 

[Snowman1]

Seriously though, given the history of Battleground, isn't some sort of non-finish the most possible outcome? As you say the Lesnar run-in is perfectly possible.

I wouldn't rule out Triple H giving his history with all three men

 

[Messiah1]

The focus will definitely be on Ambrose and Rollins during this feud, but Roman still wins the belt at Battleground.. Ambrose is a traditional champion, He only won the title to get to this triple threat match, unless they have a rematch at SummerSlam and Ambrose drops it there.

 

[Swift]

Reigns wins and everyone hates him more than ever. Calling it.

 

[RedDwarfTechy]

I hope Dean retains, but [HASHTAG]#WWELogic[/HASHTAG] 4:

Reigns wins and everyone hates him more than ever. Calling it.

At this point I would not be surprised cause I swear it is like Vince gets high on the anger of WWE's fans. lol

I didn't even consider HHH

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

It's interesting because I don't think Roman is going to win the title back. But where does his character go if he isn't chasing the title? Who would his next feud be with? Itd be a pretty bold move for WWE to put the title back on him when obviously Ambrose and Rollins are so much more over. Unless they turn Roman heel of course, which is what everyone is waiting for.

Rollins is obviouy the strongest performer of the 3 who I would prefer to see win the title but I don't think he's gonna win.

I think Ambrose will retain. If not, they re gonna make him look so weak by having him drop the title on his first defense.
