A shot aired of fans entering the building in the concourse as Renee Young introduced the show. She was joined on commentary by Corey Graves, Booker T, and "Smiling" Byron Saxton. Byron said he's happier than a hungry dog with an endless supply of Kibbles and Bits. Apparently, he's been saving that one for a special occasion...Inside the Social Media Lounge, Tom Phillips checked in and said he would be joined by Paul Heyman for a Q&A later in the show.Phillips read through Ryback's tweets about his severe staph infection in his right knee. Phillips noted that The Miz went to social media to complain about Ryback not defending the Intercontinental Title against him and Big Show as scheduled...A video package focussed on the John Cena vs. Kevin Owens feud...After the hosts spoke about the match, they aired a video package for the Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt feud...Footage aired of Michael Cole's interview with Bray Wyatt that was originally shown on the WWE website. Cole asked who is Bray Wyatt. "I am no one," Wyatt responded... Backstage, Eden interviewed R-Truth, who said some people think he's lost his mind because he runs around with a tinfoil crown and a plunger. He said he knows what he's doing. He said Barrett thinks it's about fun and games, but it's not about that. Truth said you win as many matches with your head as you do your fists. Truth said he can't wait to see Barrett's face after a guy with a plunger beats him... The broadcast team hyped the tag title match. Booker gave New Day "big props" and then did their clap. Renee joined him in clapping for God knows what reason. The real New Day showed up. Big E grabbed Byron's hand and clapped, then Byron got way too excited about it... Michael Cole, JBL, and Jerry Lawler checked in on commentary and then ring announcers for the kickoff show match took place... 1. King Barrett vs. R-Truth. The winner is the true king, so the loser is actually the real winner if you think about it. The live crowd was receptive during Truth's pre-match promo. He got off to the fast start. They cut to a commercial for WWE Battleground. No, really.Cole asked how embarrassing it would be for Barrett if he lost the match to Truth. You know, because that hasn't already happened. Truth got a half-hearted near fall. Truth performed the scissors kick for another two count. Barrett came back with Winds of Change for a two count of his own. Truth had another flurry, but Barrett put him away with the Bull Hammer...King Barrett beat R-Truth to keep his crown in 9:15. Inside the social media lounge, Tom Phillips interviewed Paul Heyman. He was asked what his client's routine is.Eat, sleep, conquer, and then repeat against anyone who steps up to challenge him after he beats Rollins. Phillips asked how many suplexes will Lesnar deliver. Heyman said as many as he wants to win the match and to make Rollins serve his penance.The last question was what would happen if Lesnar loses. Heyman cut him off and said it was a stupid question. Heyman said he only deals in absolutes. "If you're aunt had a pair she would be your uncle," Heyman said...Phillips set up footage of Stephanie McMahon becoming the face of the Divas division. Oh, and Becky Lynch, Charlotte, and Sasha Banks appeared in that segment too...Renee Young announced that Stephanie McMahon requested that all nine women from the Raw segment be at Battleground...Young set up a video package for the Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar match... END OF PRESHOW! Will add the other matches as they go on A video package opened the event and played up the battleground theme. It touched on the top matches on the show... Pyro shot off on the stage... Michael Cole, JBL, and Jerry Lawler were on commentary...1. Randy Orton vs. Sheamus.Orton got a favorable response, yet nothing special considering it's his hometown, yet Cole described it as thunderous. Sheamus set his Money in the Bank briefcase under the ropes in his corner and the referee allowed it because, you know, no wrestler would ever use it as a weapon.Orton whipped Sheamus into the barricade early on.Back inside the ring, Sheamus performed the Irish Curse backbreaker a few times. "Are you not entertained?" he asked the crowd. Does he really want us to answer? Sheamus also leapt off the second rope and dropped a knee on Orton at 6:00.Orton and Sheamus traded punches in mid-ring for the "yeah/boo" dynamic.Orton got the better of it and clotheslined Sheamus a couple times. Orton went for his slam, but Shemaus saw it coming. Orton still managed to clothesline Sheamus to ringside. Sheamus pulled Orton to the floor and the brawl continued there. Orton dropped Sheamus on the broadcast team's table.Back inside the ring, Orton dodged the Brogue Kick and then came back with a power slam for a two count.

When Orton stood up, Sheamus connected with a Brogue Kick.Sheamus applied the cloverleaf in mid-ring. Orton pulled to the ropes, but Sheamus pulled him back into the middle of the ring. Orton pulled himself to the ropes to break the hold. Once they stood up, Orton performed the RKO and pinned Sheamus clean...Randy Orton defeated Sheamus in 16:55. The broadcast team hyped the main event. Cole said social media will be blowing up just as it was after Stephanie McMahon said she wanted a revolution in the Divas division. Footage aired of Stephanie introducing Becky Lynch, Charlotte, and Sasha Banks on Raw...Backstage, JoJo interviewed Stephanie McMahon, who was booed.JoJo asked Steph about the commotion that the Divas segment cause on Raw. Stephanie dropped a Wrestling at the Chase reference and then announced a three-way match for Battleground involving the three factions that were established on Raw...New Day made their entrance and delivered a promo along the way. They spoke about not being able to lose if you're positive. They said they had to lose the tag title match so they could win. Xavier dropped a "Don't Be a Menace to South Central..." reference by saying "message." The Players interrupted their attempt to start a "New Day Rocks" chant... 2. The Prime Time Players vs. Kofi Kingston and Big E (w/Xavier Woods) for the WWE Tag Team Championship.Not much happened in the first five minutes, however. At 5:00, E performed a big splash onto Darren Young on the ring apron. Young sold and then made his usual hot tag to Titus O'Neil, who worked over legal man Kingston and E.Woods interfered enough to let Kofi take offensive control, which didn't last long. Young tagged in and performed the Gut Check on Kingston, then Titus performed his finisher on Big E and pinned him...The Prime Time Players defeated New Day in 8:50 to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship. Backstage, Paige spoke with her new faction members Charlotte and Becky Lynch. Becky was back to her traditional look with her goggles. They spoke about creating a revolution, and Charlotte said they would do it with flair. The broadcast team set up a video package for the Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns feud... 3. Roman Reigns vs Bray Wyatt Wyatt was on the offensive for the first three minutes and then Reigns connected with a clothesline that sent him to ringside. Reigns followed and ran Wyatt into the barricade. Back inside the ring, Reigns threw a couple of forearms and then Wyatt caught him with a running cross body block at 4:00. There was a lengthy Bray Wyatt headlock in mid-ring. Reigns came back with some of his signature offense. Reigns had Wyatt draped over the ring apron. He took a run at him on the floor, but Wyatt caught him with a wicked clothesline from the ring apron. Cool spot. Back inside the ring, Reigns performed a walking powerbomb and got a two count.

Wyatt set up for his finisher, but Reigns fought his way out of it and hit Wyatt with several headbutts. Reigns backed Wyatt into the corner and clotheslined him ten times, which the fans counted along with. Once Wyatt regained control, he went to ringside and grabbed a chair. When Wyatt turned around, Reigns punched him. Reigns threw four chairs inside the ring. Suddenly, a man in a hoodie attacked Reigns, which the referee missed because he was clearing the chairs out of the ring. Wyatt rolled Reigns inside the ring, hit Sister Abigail, and pinned him. The announcers questioned who the supposed mystery man was until he entered the ring, removed his hoodie, and revealed himself to be Harper...Bray Wyatt pinned Roman Reigns in 22:05. A commercial aired for SummerSlam in Brooklyn... Members of the St. Louis Cardinals were shown in the front row... Backstage, JoJo interviewed BAD (Beautiful And Dangerous) - Naomi, Sasha Banks, and Tamina. Sasha had the NXT Championship with her. The trio said they are on the same page... The three women's factions made their entrance. Cole said this is Nikki Bella's 238th day as champion. He said she won the title in the same venue. Cole said AJ Lee still holds the record for longest reign at 295 days... 4. Brie Bella (w/Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) vs. Sasha Banks (w/Naomi, Tamina) vs. Charlotte (w/Paige, Becky Lynch) Nikki teased working the match, then headed to ringside and whispered in her sister's ear. Brie smiled and entered the ring to start the match. Sasha draped Brie over the middle rope and Charlotte on the bottom rope and then dropped a knee on Brie, which knocked Brie onto Charlotte. Cool spot. Sasha mocked Charlotte with a strut and a woooo, but Charlotte rolled her up. Sasha came back by spinning her around her body, grabbing her by the hair, and slamming her to the mat. Brie charged across the ring to break up a cover by Sasha and appeared to take a knee to the nose in the process. She checked her nose, but continued. Charlotte struck both women and then worked over Sasha briefly before Brie broke it up and performed a couple of dropkicks. The were some boos. Brie performed a double bulldog. Brie performed Daniel Bryan style kicks on both women which were greeted with "no" chants. Funny. Charlotte went for a spear on Sasha, who moved, causing Charlotte to spear Brie. With Brie at ringside (and still checking her nose), Charlotte and Sasha were left alone to work. Sasha performed a neckbreaker and got a two count. Brie went to the top rope and ended up performing a missile dropkick onto both opponents. Brie yelled "Brie Mode" and then performed running knees on both women. She caught Charlotte with a second knee, but Sasha grabbed Brie and sent her to the floor. Nikki and Alicia checked on Brie. The other four women at ringside walked over and glared.

Sasha performed a fairly tentative suicide dive, then Charlotte followed up with a tope. Back inside the ring, Sasha applied the Bank Statement on Charlotte, but Brie ran in and broke it up, then ran Sasha through the ropes and into the post. Brie set up for a facebuster, but Charlotte countered into a Figure Eight and got the submission win. "Brie Bella is mortal!" Cole exclaimed. Ugh. Paige and Becky Lynch ran in and celebrated with Charlotte... Charlotte defeated Brie Bella and Sasha Banks in 11:30. Cole set up a John Cena vs. Kevin Owens video package... 5. John Cena vs Kevin Owens for the United States ChampionshipThe broadcast team praised Cena for being a fighting champion and ran through some of the names he's faced. Owens caught Cena with an early punch. They replayed it a short time later and Cole said Cena hadn't been the same since. Owens threw a dropkick at Cena in 2:00. Owens put Cena in a Torture Rack and then dropped him into a neckbreaker. Owens taunted the Cena fans by asking, "Is that your hero?" Based on this live crowd split, hundreds of fans were offended by Owens. Cena came back with a dropkick of his own at 4:00. JBL said neither dropkick got a lot of height yet said they were effective. Cena performed his top rope leg drop and got a two count. Owens came back with a wicked DDT that they replayed a couple times. Cena did his build to the Five Knuckle Shuffle, but Owens rolled onto the ring apron while Cena was playing to the crowd. Moments later, Owens went for a top rope senton, but Cena lifted his knees at 7:00. Owens avoided Cena's Attitude Adjustment and then performed a pair of of Cena shoulder blocks and his slam.

Cena went for the springboard stunner, but Owens caught him and performed a German suplex. Owens followed with a cannonball in the corner and got a two count. "Are you calling it like you should, Cole?" Owens barked while looking at the broadcast team. At 10:45, Cena came back with a sunset flip powerbomb for a two count. Cena leapt off the ropes and Owens caught him and dropped him with a powerbomb for a good near fall. Cena performed an Attitude Adjustment and got a two count. At 13:10, Owens performed a fisherman's buster suplex off the second rope and covered Cena for another good two count. The broadcast team played up Cena suffering a shoulder injury. Owens barked at Cole to "watch this." Owens went for his finisher, but Cena turned it into a huracanrana. Owens came right back with a superkick and then an Attitude Adjustment and then applied the STF as the broadcast team played up the possibility of Owens beat Cena with his own finisher. Cena slowly crawled his way to the ropes to break the hold, which received lots of boos and some high-pitched cheers. Cena performed a tornado DDT for a two count at 15:40. Owens threw three punches at Cena, who performed the springboard stunner. Although the stunner looked better than usual, Owens dropped Cena with a clothesline and Cole claimed that Cena didn't get all of the stunner. Owens performed a fisherman's suplex onto his own knee and got another two count. Owens went for the Pop-Up Powerbomb, but Cena avoided it and hit the Attitude Adjustment for another two count. Cena performed a running clothesline that JBL said was Cena showing frustration. Cena went for a second running clothesline, but Owens dodged it and then hit the Pop-Up Powerbomb for a two count. Cena performed an AA off the middle rope and then covered Owens, who kicked out at the last moment. Cena sat up and looked straight ahead in shock for at least ten seconds. Cole said the last time he saw that look on Cena's face is when he lost to The Rock at WrestleMania. Cena went to pick up Owens, who caught him in a small package for a near fall. Cena applied the STF again. Owens teased tapping, yet kept crawling toward the ropes. Cena pulled Owens back to the middle of the ring and then Owens tapped out... John Cena defeated Kevin Owens in 22:15 to retain the U.S. Championship. The broadcast team recapped the Ryback injury situation and then The Miz made his entrance. Miz asked the crowd to shut up. He complained about Ryback getting injured and depriving him of what was supposed to be his night to win the Intercontinental Championship. Miz said he's known Ryback since Tough Enough and when the going gets tough, Ryback gets injured. Miz said he doesn't think Ryback is hurt, he said he believes Ryback is afraid of him. Miz said Ryback is off with an injury and who knows where Big Show is. "In my opinion, Big Show has been missing since the Attitude Era," Miz said. Nice. Miz said The Authority should do what's best for business by naming him the new Intercontinental Champion. If not, Miz said he would just take the title like "a real city" Los Angeles is going to take the Rams from St. Louis. Funny. Big Show's music played and he walked to the ring. Miz said he and Show should team up. Show hit Miz with the knockout punch and then turned around and headed backstage without saying a word... Cole hyped that SummerSlam is five weeks away. He said the question is who will be the champion at SummerSlam, then set up the video package for the main event... Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship The bell rang and Lesnar charged at Rollins and then gave him a few shoulder blocks to the gut in the corner. Lesnar set up for a German suplex, but Rollins gave him repeated elbows to the head to force his way free. Rollins fled to ringside and Lesnar smiled, then chased Rollins on the floor and back inside the ring. Rollins caught Lesnar with a kick to the gut and then several to the legs. Rollins went for a dropkick, but Lesnar caught his legs. Brock went for the F5, but Rollins slipped way. Lesnar performed his first German suplex at 1:30, then followed up with a second and a third. Heyman counted each German suplex at ringside. Lesnar looked down at Rollins and smiled, then performed a fourth German suplex. A brief "Suplex City" chant started and then Lesnar performed a fifth German suplex. Rollins ended up at ringside. He grabbed his title belt and started to lave. Lesnar left the ring and hurdled the barricade to catch Rollins and then threw him back over the barricade. Lesnar smiled as he brought the title back to the timekeeper's area. Lesnar rolled Rollins back inside the ring at 3:45. Lesnar performed his sixth German suplex at 4:00. He went for a seventh German suplex, but Rollins landed on his feet and then caught Lesnar with a series of kicks. With Lesnar down, Rollins performed three superkicks. Brock got back to his feet and Rollins performed another superkick. Rollins set up for The Pedigree, but Lesnar forced his way out. Lesnar put Rollins in position for the F5, but Rollins slipped out of that and kneed Lesnar's back and knocked him to ringside. Rollins performed a pair of suicide dives. Rollins returned to the ring, but Lesnar followed and performed his seventh suplex. "Get up," Lesnar yelled at Rollins. Lesnar performed German suplexes numbers eight, nine, ten, and eleven. Rollins got to his knees and Lesnar caught him with a slap that drew gasps from the crowd. Lesnar performed a twelfth German suplex. Rollins slapped Lesnar, then immediately regretted it. Lesnar hit him with the thirteenth German suplex. Lesnar performed the F5 and went for the cover at 4:05. The referee counted to two and the lights went out and the gong sounded. When the lights came on, Undertaker was in the ring and Rollins was gone. Lesnar looked shocked, as did Heyman. Lesnar went after Taker, who grabbed him by the throat and tried to chokeslam him. Lesnar dodged the chokeslam and then hoisted up Taker for the F5. Taker slipped out of that and kicked Lesnar below the belt. Once Lesnar got up, Taker grabbed him by the throat and chokeslammed him. Taker hoisted up Lesnar again and performed a second Tombstone piledriver while the broadcast team remained silent. The fans chanted "one more time." However, Taker knelt down and stuck his tongue out while his music and light show played. Taker left the ring as his music continued to play. He looked back at Lesnar, then held up his fist to end the show... Seth Rollins fought Brock Lesnar to an unannounced finish in 4:05 when Undertaker interfered.

Phantom Roxas Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I don't think that the line-up and the results should have separate threads, so I've merged them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face McShooty Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thank you, I thought about that as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ｍｒ．Ｒｏｂｏｔ Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Holy...Rollins evolved into Undertaker instead of the diamond that Triple H wanted. Get Barrett out of the pre-show please. Also Owens is gonna answer Cena's Open Challenge on RAW and win or...maybe not. He's still in a program with Balor for the NXT title and Samoa Joe at NXT so him having the US title wouldn't make sense until SummerSlam. Overall, an ok-issh ppv.

Face McShooty Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Agreed, I'd honestly like to see Cesaro or Rusev hold it til SummerSlam and have a fatal 4 way for the US title; Rusev vs Cesaro vs Owens vs Cena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
