WWE Battleground: Live as it happens

[jpchicago23]

Definitely glad I didn't go live now. Ambrose Rollins would've been the reason to go

[Matt D]

I wonder if this is a way to get people's mind off Rollins so he can cash in at the end of the show (especially after Reigns wins?). Part of me half thinks that they should run Cena vs Brock and a Shield Three Way for the title at Summerslam now.

[Stiva]

Hahaha, the only match people want to see postponed! Maybe Ambrose costs Rollins a MITB cash-in later on?

[hammerva]

Postponing the match makes sense given that you are putting that match right after that hot tag match.

 

cancelling the match to build for another PPV/network show is just killing Ambrose

[Dylan Waco]

Usos v. Wyatts was good,but I completely disagree about the brevity of the first two falls not hurting it. It exposed the needless nature of the stip. Third fall was great for what it was, but I thought last months match was clearly better

[Matt D]

To me, the parallel on the first two falls sort of redeemed it. I can see how you'd feel otherwise, but I liked it in a bubble. I was also thinking about all of those long AJPW tag matches I've seen lately where I felt like a two/three fall structure could have helped it a lot and I think it actually did help break things up here without really taking away from the story they were trying to tell. It felt a lot like one of those long finishing stretches but it felt more fitting to me somehow due to those two falls having already happened, if that makes sense.

Boy Paige is being badly exposed in this match

[Steenalized]

At least the finish was a shining wizard, which I'll always pop for if done right. Otherwise, not so great.

AJ Lee vs. Paige

- The announcers called this a great match. Eh, I was busy.

[Exposer]

AJ vs. Paige (WWE Diva's Title) - Eh, I didn't care for this.

[The Chief]

The girls tried but they couldn't get on the same page. Sloppy match.

[Matt D]

I'm way too annoyed that AJ didn't just pin Paige's legs when they were all toppled over like that. Why push them back and then do it? Come on now. Don't screw up a good visual.

[Kevin Ridge]

I wait to see what happens with Rollins/Ambrose but was immediately surprised to see it set as second match of card. Didn't pay too much attention to Divas match. The commentary was annoying.

Boy Paige is being badly exposed in this match

 

It wasn't pretty but it wasn't like AJ was working like a hall of famer either. Didn't seem like they were ready for the match as they were off on a number of spots

[Russellmania]

that AJ/Paige match sucked. really expected more from them

[Dylan Waco]

AJ was running laps around Paige in that match. The myth of Paige the great worker needs to be put to bed. She's not. Not even close.

[sek69]

Seems like Dylan is just itching to bury this show so badly. Are we now expecting 5 star matwork in Divas matches now?

[Dylan Waco]

I expect the allegedly great Paige to not look worse than Cameron. That's a pretty low hurdle to clear.

[hammerva]

So I guess the question in this match will be how quickly it is before they make a Malaysian airplane reference

[sek69]

lol so much for WWE taking the high road....

[Dylan Waco]

Lana speaking the truth here

[goodhelmet]

Oh fuck... the Fed never learns

[sek69]

No one really should have expected WWE to do anything different, lets be honest with ourselves here.

[Dylan Waco]

Lana saving the show after Sek's favorite wrestler Paige embarrassed all rational fans

[Steenalized]

This crowd isn't so into Swagger. Buncha traitors.
