Curious how they get out of having the triple threat at this show to save it until SummerSlam. Why I'd have probably had Seth / Roman be a no-contest tonight then have Dean cash in on this show instead.
Granted, whatever, just do it here then, be good and I do wish things of consequence happened more often not at SummerSlam.

They'll probably do the triple threat here since the brand split will be in effect by then and lord knows how that even effects the main titles and Summerslam

I'm gonna cry if The Shield triple threat ends up being on Battleground.
Hyped up for years upon years and it ends up on f***ing Battleground.

I'm gonna cry if The Shield triple threat ends up being on Battleground. Hyped up for years upon years and it ends up on f***ing Battleground. It's simple. WATCH BATTLEGROUND. I'd watch this match if it happened on f***ing Superstars. Anything that puts off this "Save it for SummerSlam/WrestleMania" attitude is fine by me, because you never know what could happen to stop it from happening. |

You need something worthwhile on these smaller shows to give them meaning, otherwise you DO end up with "Only the Big Four shows matter" mindsets within the company and its fanbase. |

That is true, but I think that there's other ways to do that then to throw on the big match right away. I wouldn't mind if they had Ambrose vs. Rollins at Battleground and had angry Roman ruin that to set the triple threat up at Summerslam. |

Ha, "angry Roman"... The Big Bird, launched in off a slingshot to dismantle the ring.

I am going to guess we don't get any matches (or at least the main event) until after Lesnar fights. Oh, they'll make something but it'll change several times between it being announced and the Raw on the 11th.

Going by the promo posted above, almost all matches at this event will be a variation of a Flag Match.

On any other show, I could see this logic. But it's Battleground, a show that is primarily associated with advertised matches either not happening, or missing a finish. So, if they sign a Shield Triple Threat here, I'm wondering how bad they screw it up. |

So, if they sign a Shield Triple Threat here, I'm wondering how bad they screw it up. So because there were a couple of dodgy shows in the past, it's not worth any effort to try and rehab that image and try and associate it with something else? I get not being enthused for it, but doing nothing won't solve anything. WWE putting meaningless filler on the Battleground card because everyone's expecting meaningless filler will ensure that Battleground STAYS a meaningless filler PPV until somebody's willing to actually put something worth a damn on the card. And like I said, it's not so much a "Build up Battleground" thing as it is a "Do the match while the story's hot and everyone's healthy" thing. I'd be doing the Shield triple threat if the next PPV was Battleground, Hell In A Cell, WrestleMania, whatever. I've seen too many dream matches get wasted away because people got hurt while WWE were fiddlef***ing about wasting time by waiting for SummerSlam or WrestleMania to think otherwise at this point. |

I guess it beats it having already happened on a random FCW episode? Anyway, I dunno how to feel about it. It seems like the kind of thing best saved for SummerSlam, especially if it gets us out of another Reigns / Lesnar match like I fear is where things are heading, but honestly I've never actually wanted to see a triple threat between them. It's the big match right now and should really happen but personally I've got no interesting in seeing these guys fight, and not much reason to really expect it to be great besides atmosphere given I have never seen an interesting Reigns / Rollins match, Rollins / Ambrose matches are up and down in quality, and Reigns / Ambrose at Survivor Series was a bleh disappointment. |

I'd be doing the Shield triple threat if the next PPV was Battleground, Hell In A Cell, WrestleMania, whatever. Hey, that's WWE's fault if the name Battleground keeps conjuring up images of Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton ending with Big Show standing tall, or Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins just not happening at all. I would have just swapped out the name with any of their other interchangeable names like Vengeance or Over the Limit. Theoretically, the show shouldn't be any different if it was called Vengeance, but I still feel like there's a running joke at WWE Creative to do a bait and switch at every Battleground show they can, regardless of what month it's in. As far as the Shield triple threat goes, I don't think they'll do it here anyway. My guess is we get a one on one match for the title involving either Seth or Roman, while the odd man out goes over another upper midcarder to set up the Shield triple threat at Summerslam. |

As fast as fans seem to get burned out on certain people, angles etc. they better do the triple threat here before WWE "finds a way to screw it up boo WWE"
In all seriousness, no problem if they do it on this PPV. I can also honestly see Rollins vs. HHH at Summerslam.

The Shield Triple-Threat match needs to happen here, so Roman can squash Cena at SummerSlam! |
