This will probably be a dull show waiting for Summerslam to arrive.

I can see so far Ambrose vs. Kane.

[Wrestling Curmudgeon]

Battleground thread off to a rousing start with a dead image. How apro-BO.

[Instant Classic]

WWE Championship:
John Cena(c) vs Cesaro

Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose

Roman Reigns vs Randy Orton

U.S. Championship: 
Sheamus(c) vs Rusev

I have no idea who Wyatt will face

[percymania]

MMMMMM filler PPV.

[MiLB Fan]

WWE Network is quick: It already has the Battleground commercial up.

It's crunchy on the outside because it's a ppv, but soft on the inside because it's just filler.

[wildojinx]

I cant see any real match for Cena here, maybe they'll just sacrifice orton or kane, or even have sheamus turn heel if they want a fresh match, but this whole PPV is basically filler until Summerslam.

[Diamond Cutter Out of Nowhere!]

I can totally see Cena fighting Kane and Orton in a triple threat designed to get the belt off him, which will of course fail when Cena once again overcomes the odds.

[Deleted]

Cena / Orton and Kane / Ambrose are sure going to be exciting. Bet there'll also be an unannounced Adam Rose match and Rusev will beat a black guy.

[Batman]

Hopefully Ambrose will goad Rollins into putting the briefcase up in their match. I never thought I'd say this, but Dean Ambrose is the hottest act in the E right now.

[YellowJacketY2J]

The only matches I can see for Cena are another match with Bray (which I would be fine with, but Bray really needs to start getting some wins, so feeding him to Cena again isn't the wisest idea) or a triple threat with Kane & Orton (which sounds incredibly dull). I don't think they'll hold off Rollins/Ambrose until Summerslam, as I expect to see it take place here (though it's possible they can have a gimmick rematch at Summerslam). Speaking of rematches, I can see The Wyatt Family getting another tag title shot (maybe throw in Rybaxel & Dust to Dust and make it a four-way).


The rest of the card is up in the air.

I don't know, that seems like quite a stretch.

I really like this card, it won't happen but i like it

[Steveweiser]

The leaked plan was Reigns vs. Orton and Ambrose vs. Rollins, but I can see WWE holding both of those off until SummerSlam. I wouldn't mind Ambrose vs. Kane to give Ambrose a massive win heading into the Rollins match.

[543Y2J]

If Rollins/Ambrose isn't happening until Summerslam I would love for them to do Rollins/Ziggler MITB Briefcase on the line (and Ambrose/Kane to put Ambrose over like Steveweiser said). Their matches over the past few weeks have proven that they have a hell of a lot of chemistry together, give them 20 - 25 minutes on PPV and watch them steal it.

Ambrose and Rollins look strong going into the Summerslam mega grudge match

[SCCB Was Told To Do Steroids]

Ah, the second to worst PPV in the canon. You are not disappointing so far...

If WWE continues their pattern of annoying me and throwing away talent I'm expecting Rollins losing to Cena, but they couldn't be that stupid could they?

I figure:
Cena vs Bray
Ambrose vs Kane/Rollins
Reigns vs Orton
Barrett vs Swagger
Usos vs Rhodes
Cesaro vs Ziggler
Sheamus vs RVD
Rusev vs Kofi

and for SummerSlam:
Cena vs Lesnar
Ambrose vs Rollins
Reigns vs Triple H

[Emmet Russell]

Bray is in danger of getting lost in the shuffle soon if he doesn't find another meaningful feud heading into Summerslam. I really hope they don't drop the ball with him in the coming months.

[Deleted]

I'm guessing the card will look like:

Cena vs. Orton with special referee HHH: Odds. Stacked. Against. John. Cena. And. The. Fans.
Ambrose vs. Kane and Rollins: Because everything's better when you add Kane apparently.
Reigns vs. Rusev: Welcome to job town, you Russian bastard.
Uso's vs. Harper/Rowan vs. Dusts: Samoans, Hillbillies, and Weirdo's, oh my!
Paige vs. Cameron: the Funkadactyl's explode!
Wyatt vs. Kofi: Kofi is pissed that Wyatt sold him that car with the hillbilly tune up and he is ready to job to get his revenge.
Bo vs. someone

All of this, a bunch of filler and probably some Adam Rose/Damien Sandow bullshit only available on the Network!!!!
