Not a card I'm personally big on but not a bad card by any stretch. Not a good card Not a bad card But it's THE card. |

Ambrose vs. HHH for top title on Steph's brand?

Dean will probably feud Sheamus in the undercard or something.

Poor Ambrose. After finally getting the belt he'll be pushed down the card compared to Reigns, a guy who dropped the ball and is handed all these things. Ambrose is even doing double duty with Reigns out, doing well in this feud and it'll all be taken away from him. Damn, that's sad. It's like we're back to where with him before he won MITB. Since Vince is allegedly high on Rollins being a heel, watch Rollins get the belt from Ambrose, beat him in a rematch and then see Reigns come in for the win. I swear, nobody wants to see that bullshit. All 3 guys are going to be misused.
Oh and that Cena/Styles match will be for whatever title they have on SD sadly enough. I don't wanna see Cena with another belt but AJ is a different story.

Well, if the main event turns out to be right it looks like I'll be leaving the Barclays Center early.

Like others have said, what's the impetus for Reigns vs. Rollins?
We saw it not a month ago and it had a pretty conclusive ending. The match was fine, but it certainly wasn't worthy enough to go right back to the well again.
Sometimes I long for the days when feuds only lasted a month or two if they were really heated. That will be three straight PPVs with some form of Reigns vs. Rollins on it. It's complete overkill.

I wouldn't put a lot of stock into potential SummerSlam matches until we know who's on which brand. Plus, just because Dean Ambrose isn't mentioned doesn't mean he's going to lose at Battleground; it's entirely possible that Kevin Owens or someone will get elevated and challenge for the title.

I've thought for a while that this was a test run for Ambrose, with him being the guy I would heavily favor to win the Rumble next year. And hey, at least he can say he was the last unified world champ. Ambrose honestly might be a guy better suited to a chase. That said, for all intents and purposes it looks like Rollins and Styles will end up on different shows and there's a serious dream match I think anyone would want to see.
Rollins is weird. On the mic he's a terrific heel, but in the ring his moves are total babyface. Reigns isn't especially good on the mic as either a face or heel but he at least could develop into a decent heel promo if given a chance. Just let him be naturally dickish. That's the irony of Reigns to me. Unlike Cena he actually is a naturally kind of heelish guy.

If Reigns v Rollins happens it most likely means Ambrose is still champ, guessing both of them have a chance, or multiple chances and keep costing one another alllowing Ambrose to sneak out with the belt.

Or Rollins and Reigns are on one show, and Ambrose the other.

I'm not jumping up and down for it. I'm sure the matches will be good, but the storylines will probably be meh. Kind of par for the course lately.

No, see, Roman has to get the belt back, because the fans will be inclined to cheer for him for the heartwarming redemption story of being busted for drugs during the push anyone's gotten since Lesnar in 2002, being gone for a month, then coming back and winning it straight back from someone much more popular than him. It's the perfect hero's journey.
Or Vince just already admitted he was wrong at Mania 30 and 31 and isn't ever doing so again until the day he dies, either / or.

As per Dave Meltzer on WOR: Lesnar vs Orton Cena vs Styles Banks vs Charlotte Reigns vs Rollins Nothing out of the ordinary for better or for worse. No HHH or Taker is interesting. So, if they do things the usual way... Orton gets his big comeback win against Lesnar Cena gets his win back from Styles Charlotte goes over Sasha and builds towards a one year reign. Roman goes over Rollins and becomes champion. If they want to switch things up... Orton beats Lesnar after Heyman costs Brock the match. Styles beats Cena, forcing Cena to consider if he still has "it". Sasha with Snoop Dogg in her corner beats Charlotte (get coverage from MTV, BET, Billboard, WorldStar, Source, Vibe, Etc.) Rollins, Ambrose and Reigns have a triple threat won by Roman when Heyman helps Reigns win (not by Roman's choice, not a heel turn), setting up a storyline of Heyman chasing Roman and Roman questioning if Heyman can help. |

Love it, Roman is either getting the title at Battleground (my guess) or at Summerslam despite the Wellness failure. Pigheaded amazingness right there. Considering the lack of Ambrose and the fact that Reigns/Rollins is mentioned, I'm expecting that is the likely outcome. Would suck for Dean to go from WWE Champion to, say, feuding with Baron Corbin in one month. On the bright side, we could finally witness the first Rogaine on a Pole match. |

Ambrose should feud with Ryder then. "HOW THE f*** DID YOU GET YOUR HAIR BACK? WILL I RECOVER MY HAIR BY EATING YOUR HEART?" |

That will be three straight PPVs with some form of Reigns vs. Rollins on it. It's complete overkill. It's easy. Roman pins Dean because Seth and Dean are too busy bickering and forgot about the Big Dog. Rollins still is owed a rematch and Roman never beat him. And Dean can easily be written out via the Draft or a loss on whatever show. |

I'll be pissed if Charlotte retains. Worst Champ since Kelly Kelly.
