My predictions for Battleground 2017

Tye Dillinger vs. Aiden English

Yep, these two. In the kick-off.

My prediction: Dillinger will probably win this one.

Randy Orton vs. Jinder Mahal (c)

in a Punjabi Prison Match for the WWE Championship

They're at it again. After Jinder Mahal attacked Randy Orton's father "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr. at Money In The Bank, Orton has promised to make Jinder's life a living hell. Jinder responds by bringing Hell to Orton...in the form of a Punjabi Prison Match, which has not been seen in quite some time. This might turn out to be one nasty match...and one where Jinder Mahal might retain the WWE Championship if Orton isn't careful...

My prediction: Jinder will retain.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) vs. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) (c)

for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships

The Usos might have run away last time, but this might be the war to settle the score

My prediction: The New Day are taking the titles.

John Cena vs. Rusev

in a Flag Match

In a fit of patriotic fervor, Rusev showed up and tried to ruin John Cena's July 4th return. Also in a fit of patriotic fervor, Cena challenged him to a Flag Match that night. Rusev accepted, but not for the 4th; instead, it's happening at Battleground...

My prediction: John Cena wins. Everybody riots.

Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch vs. Natalya vs. Tamina vs. Lana

in a Fatal 5-Way Match to determine a #1 contender for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship

And the war in the blue brand's women division continues! This time, the women who didn't win the Money In The Bank Ladder Match get another chance at a shot at Naomi and the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship...as does Lana, who talked her way straight to the title match only to lose that and then lose in the rematch.

My prediction: Hoping Charlotte Flair wins this one...

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Baron Corbin

Baron Corbin seems to have something against Nakamura for acting like he's at where he isn't, and has beaten him up quite a few times to assert his dominance as Mr. Money In The Bank. Now they're in a match...and it's put up or shut up.

My prediction: Nakamura will probably win this one.

Kevin Owens vs. AJ Styles(c)

for the WWE United States Championship

Well, isn't this something? Despite winning a battle royal to become the #1 contender for the United States title, AJ Styles had a match against Kevin Owens for the title at Madison Square Garden less than two weeks before Battleground and won it...and the win became official! Now the roles of champion and challenger have been reversed...but will lighting strike twice for Styles, or will Owens become the face of America again?

My prediction: Owens will probably take the title back.
