* Roman Reigns opens the show. As he announces that he and Ambrose will face Big Show and Sheamus tonight, Bray Wyatt appears on the titantron with a creepy message about abducting Reigns’ family. Reigns calls him out but will not happen tonight but will culminate at Battleground.
* New Day vs. Lucha Dragons — Kofi comes off the ropes on Kalisto as Big E holds him up, smashing him for the finish to give New Day the win. Is any tag team more annoying than these guys? Darren and Titus of Prime Time Players come out to confront New Day and they run off.
* Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose talk backstage about their upcoming match tonight with Big Show and Sheamus. Reigns says if Wyatt shows up tonight he won’t make it to Battleground.
* King Barrett vs. Jack Swagger — Bullhammer finish from Barrett. R-Truth comes out dressed as a ghetto king carrying a plunger as a scepter, a towel as a cape, and a cardboard crown. That’s a bit racist.
* Rusev (with Summer Rae) vs. Cesaro — Rusev nearly ends Cesaro with a super kick out on the floor. Rusev puts him back in the ring then comes off the top rope to meet an uppercut from Cesaro, he then hits him with a Neutralizer for the finish. Cesaro celebrates with the fans in the stands.
* Stardust vs. Neville – Neville rolls Stardust up for the win while he’s distracted by the referee.
* Stardust ambushes Neville from behind while he’s doing an interview backstage.
* Naomi, Sasha Banks and Tamina Snuka give an interview serving notice to the Divas division.
* Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus, Big Show — Big Show goes to smash the announce table with a choke slam on Ambrose but Ambrose turns it into a DDT on Big Show. They are both down. Reigns hits Sheamus with a Superman Punch and is about to go for the finish when he’s ambushed by Bray Wyatt. This causes the DQ. Reigns counters a Sister Abigail and KO’s Wyatt with a Superman Punch. Sheamus tries to take advantage of the situation by going after Reigns but gets Speared.

I dreamed something yesterday. At this battleground, Brock Lesnar will not win against Seth Rollins. An interference will be seen in that match. A non-wwe guy (may be from UFC) will come and beat the beast, but I couldn’t identify him. But he’ll surely face Lesnar at SummerSlam. Oh wait….! The celtic warrior will cash the contract and get the championship belt. He will face Seth Rollins at SummerSlam.
