I'm thinking Orton / Bryan, with Triple H refereeing. Or maybe with Big Show doing it so they can do more, "Do the right thing, Big Show! You're broke, you need this job!" garbage.

[MiLB Fan]

I just realized that I'll be at the Raw after Battleground. Cool.

[JoDaNa1281]

Plus, Punk & ppv posterboy Ryback seems obvious.

[RIHT]

NOW I see why Ryback is on the poster. RYBACK RULES!

[CH Punk]

I'm guessing the card is:

Randy Orton (c) vs Daniel Bryan - WWE Championship (this time with added run-ins)
CM Punk vs Ryback w/Paul Heyman
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs Rob Van Dam - World Heavyweight Championship (if his knees haven't exploded, then Mysterio could be a third man in the match)
The Shield (c) vs The Prime Time Players - WWE Tag Team Championship
AJ Lee (c) vs Naomi - Divas Championship
(a couple more undercard matches that will be thrown together on the go home shows)

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Unlimit Energ is going to be at Battleground?

I like the idea of doing a tournament for the WWE title, but instead of stripping DB, Triple H mandates that he must defend his title through each round, all the way up to the end, if he wants to leave BattleGround the WWE Champion.

Kind of sad when you mention RVD's knees, but follow it up with Rey Mysterio. The first ever exploding knee match?

I'm thinking something like this:

Bryan vs Orton vs Big Show
CM Punk vs Ryback
Alberto Del Rio vs RVD
PTP vs Shield vs Usos vs Real Americans
AJ vs Naomi
Dean Ambrose vs Miz
Bray Wyatt vs Dolph Ziggler

[sammy123]

So, something like...

Bryan
Reigns ---- Bryan

Dolph
Rollins ---- Rollins ---- Bryan

Orton
Show ---- Orton

Punk
Ryback ---- Punk ---- Orton


And...

RVD vs. ADR in an "ECW Throwback" match for the World Heavyweight Title

Ok but his tights really did say Stupip one time

[Waffel113]

BIG GUY BIG TRAPS IS GOING TO BATTLEGROUND, BY GOD.

That ending to Raw would be a pretty awesome War Games set up. Maybe something like Bryan, the Usos, Kofi, and Ziggler against Orton, the Shield, and Big Show?

[sammy123]

More likely DB vs. Orton in a LUMBERJACK match with specially appointed referee Brad Maddox!
