WWE Battleground 2015 PPV

I swear, I think I'm going to use this image for every PPV.

There was so much hype for Battleground, notably with Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins, who proclaimed that he will burn Suplex City to the ground, and with Kevin Owens vs John Cena in the "rubber" match for the US Champion title.

Rollins vs Lesnar was THE match that everyone was hyped for, all because everyone was pretty much fed up with with chicken-shit heel Rollins being all bragadocious about how he'll beat Lesnar, who's now the babyface, and that it will be a true one-on-one match without any interference from the Authority. This was the main event! And what did we get? A surprise appearance from The Undertaker. This got a big reaction - and rightfully so because it's rare to see Undertaker outside of Wrestlemania, let alone other PPVs - but storyline wise, it was confusing. Is Undertaker a heel now? Is he seeking revenge against Lesnar, even though he lost fair and square 2 years ago? He did 2 tombstones on a shocked Lesnar and ended the PPV. But what about Rollins? Rollins not only endured 13 suplexes from Lesnar earlier but he was nowhere to be found after Undertaker left the ring. He didn't even try to go in and pin Lesnar, which would've been PERFECT for him and give him a reason to boast about it. Rollins, the Heavyweight Champion, literally became an afterthought.

As for Owens vs Cena, it was great match with a disappointing ending. Vince knew that Cena would win this but we didn't expect Owens to tap. That was disheartening to watch because Owens has now lost twice to Cena. They have such a good rivalry going on and it would be horrible to see Owens lose all that forward momentum. Who else can he feud with at the same level as Cena? Cesaro? Rusev? It just wouldn't be the same.

The rest of the Battleground was, for the most part, decent. Bray Wyatt (with a returning Luke Harper) won over Roman Reigns, Team Paige won the Divas Triple Threat match against Team Bella and Team BAD, Randy Orton won over Sheamus, and Prime Time Players retained their title against New Day.

Oh, and Dean Ambrose, who headlined Payback, Elimination Chamber, and Money In The Bank, was nowhere to be seen. In a way, I'm glad they didn't book him in a small pointless feud to just be another match in Battleground. He was supposed to feud with Kane but thankfully, that was scrapped when Kane got injured by Lesnar last week. Seeing how Wyatt and Harper teamed up last night, I wouldn't be surprised if Reigns and Ambrose teamed up for the next few weeks going into Summerslam.
