Heyman rattles off some of the major victories that Lesnar has had in his career, then promises that Lesnar will destroy Seth Rollins and leave Battleground as WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Suddenly, Seth Rollins shows up along with Kane. He threatens to wipe the smile off Lesnar's face on Sunday and leave as the World Heavyweight Champion after burning Suplex City to the ground. Lesnar tells Rollins he can take him to Suplex City tonight. Kane then announces a contract signing between Rollins and Lesnar for their match at Battleground. Kane tells Lesnar not to ruin the proceedings, but Heyman uses this to make fun of Kane and tell Rollins not to provoke Lesnar, lest Suplex City come to Atlanta, Georgia.

Suddenly, Stephanie McMahon shows up and makes it clear she owns the Divas Division and WWE, and that the Divas Division needs a change. She's not introducing it alone...she's doing it with Paige. But Paige isn't doing it alone, as she has back-up: Becky Lynch and Charlotte from NXT. Suddenly, Naomi and Tamina show up, saying they have unfinished business with The Bellas and Paige. Stephanie McMahon answers that by introducing the NXT Women's Champion, Sasha Banks, who stands with Naomi and Tamina. Nikki Bella then bumps into Sasha Banks, and Banks attacks Nikki, starting a brawl. In the end, The Bellas and Alicia Fox are tossed out of the ring, and Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch stare down with Naomi, Tamina and Sasha Banks. All the while, Stephanie McMahon watches from the top of the entrance ramp.

Rusev shows up to answer John Cena's United States open challenge, and blames Lana for losing the United States title. Suddenly, Kevin Owens shows up and demands a match for the title tonight so that Battleground will just be a title rematch. Rusev gets angry and argues with Owens, and as they argue, Cesaro shows up, argues with Cena, then argues with Owens and Rusev. This starts a brawl between Owens, Rusev and Cesaro.

During the break, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon officially make a Triple Threat Match of Rusev vs. Kevin Owens vs. Cesaro, with the winner getting Cena and a shot at the United States Championship. John Cena guests on commentary for this match.

The contract signing for the match at Battleground for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship between Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar occurs. Before Lesnar shows, Rollins says he is not afraid of him. Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up. Heyman says that ever since Rollins broke up The Shield (Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns), he's waited for someone to get his hands on him, and that at Battleground, everyone will be watching to see Rollins get his ass kicked. After both men sign, Rollins reaches under the table but is caught out by Paul Heyman. Lesnar topples the table and pulls out the axe handle that was inside, then lays it on the table and dares Rollins to grab it. He does, but Lesnar tosses the table into Rollins and attacks Kane. Kane and Rollins get the upper hand on Lesnar for a while, but Lesnar strike back and hits Kane with an F5, causing Rollins to retreat. Lesnar then slams one of the steel steps on Kane's leg, which is on top of another set of steel steps, breaking it. After Lesnar and Heyman leave, Rollins loses it and threatens to run through Lesnar at Battleground. He then yells at Kane, saying that he's nothing, and then stomps his leg before leaving to close out the show.
