With some exciting matches on the card, the 2016 edition of WWE Battleground was solid to make a proper build up towards the biggest pay-per-view of the summer i.e. Summerslam. It had lived up to all the hypes.
The former Shield members competed in a triple threat match for the WWE Championship at Battleground. The current titleholder Dean Ambrose defended and retained the title against his former brethren, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins. Randy Orton returned after 9 months to deliver an RKO outta nowhere on Jericho. Bayley made her debut by showing up as the mystery partner for Sasha Banks. John Cena picked up a much-needed win against Aj Styles and Co. with the help from Enzo and Cass. Furthermore, the bitter rivals Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens gave us a match up worthy to remember for a long time. Here’re what the Twitterverse is buzzing about the PPV.
LET’S HUG IT OUT!!! @itsBayleyWWE makes her @WWE DEBUT! ?
