pre thoughts Battleground

Next week is the ppv Battleground, and at the time of this posting, here is the line up.

4 way for the title with Roman Reigns vs Cena vs Orton vs Kane, Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose, Usos vs Wyatts, Jericho vs Bray Wyatt, and the Battle Royal.

The Battle Royal is for the empty Intercontinental Championship. These things are always sort of a crap shoot. You never know just who will be added to make up the head count, and with the recent number of talent having been let go from the company, you have to ask the question, do they have enough guys to make up a decent size battle royal?  I say, bring up some of the NXT guys. I'd love to see Tyler Breeze or Corey Graves or either member of the Ascension or for that matter, Enzo Amore holding that title while Barrett is out on injury.

Usos vs Wyatts. This is starting to bore me. We need a new tag team to throw at the Usos.

Jericho vs Bray Wyatt. I just don't care. There's no spark in this dark at all. 

The 4 way for the title.  I see two outcomes for this. 1) Reigns winning. or 2) Orton winning. The way I'd write this storyline out if I were in creative is to have Rollins hang on tight to the #1 contender's case only if Reigns wins, and the next night on Raw cash in only if Orton wins, therefore getting the title and having the Shield reform stating it was their plan all along.

Any storyline that has the Shield getting back together with titles is a perfect storyline in my world.

Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins.  I'm torn on this. I actually hope it ends in a tie. As much as I want to see Ambrose win, I don't want to see Rollins loose. This feud is a perfect match - no pun intended- for these two personalities. I love watching these guys in any capacity. Together as a team or on opposite sides of the ring, there is a chemistry that even the best buddy movies don't always nail.  

The question was always simmering between fans since day one with the Shield,  "who will you believe in if they split?"   The answer for me has been to cheer for them all. I can't say I don't have a favourite, but at the same time even as a villain, I still find myself cheering for Rollins on as much an equal level as I do Reigns or Ambrose.

For me, what would make this ppv really great? The Shield getting back together.

Till later
