With the WWE Draft in the rear-view mirror, Battleground marks the last PPV of the old era. Many factions and feuds will end due to the brand split and Battleground serves as the explanation point.
The card may not be as stacked as last month’s Money in the Bank but it has the chance to serve up a few surprises.
Here’s our predictions for tonight’s matches:
The Usos vs. Breezango (FaBreeze) – Breezeango Wins
Want to hear something that’ll blow your mind? This match is to see who’s the top team on the Smackdown Brand. The Usos are the perfect stepping stone for Breezeango and their gimmick will lead to a good feud with American Alpha.
Becky Lynch vs. Natalya – Natalya Wins
A feud that won’t end at Battleground is this one between Lynch and Natty. Natalya’s new heel role fits her well and she needs a win to build upon that character. With both going to the same brand, Smackdown, we will likely see them go at it again at SummerSlam.
The Miz (c) vs. Darren Young (IC Title) – Darren Young Wins
Look at this, a belt changes hands. The Miz has been a great IC champion, mostly because of Maryse, but it’s time to Make Darren Young great. We omit the ‘again’ part because lets face it, he’s always been average.
Rusev (c) vs. Zack Ryder (U.S. Title) – Rusev Wins
Rusev gets another squash match. The build up of ‘Monster’ Rusev was needed again and it’ll lead to a great feud for a guy like Cesaro on Raw.
