The match at WWE Battleground is still slated to be the Shield Triple Threat match for the WWE Championship. One interesting thing to note is that Rollins (1-2) is the only one with a victory, and it was a forfeit victory after Ambrose (0-1) had been ejected from the building. In 2014, Reigns lost his chance to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
-The Highlight Reel with Chris Jericho interviewing Randy Orton. Although he didn’t win the match, he still left with the gold. In their quest to “Make Darren Young Great Again”, WWE have set him up to fail with an incongruous, immediate march to the Intercontinental title. Dean, who didn’t have a match at all, was the WWE United States Champion at the time.
All of this will conclude at “Battleground”, and according to a rumor, there was a plan for Ambrose to drop the title, but that could have been altered since the potential outcome was made before Roman Reigns’ 30-day suspension.
Just as Lesnar’s match is guaranteed to be one of SummerSlam’s “main events”, so is whatever match John Cena is in.
WWE Battleground hasn’t been very good to Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose or Seth Rollins in the past.
The decision to have Rollins win the title from Reigns and then Ambrose cash in to win the title at Money in the Bank was reportedly a last minute change. In fact, he’ll defend it against Seth Rollins just six days before the PPV, and only one day before the WWE Draft that will determine which brand every WWE superstar will be headed to after Battleground is over.
