WWE Battleground 2015: Live Stream, WWE Network Start Time and Match Card

WWE Battleground 2015 might look like an average pay-per-view on paper, but a few of the scheduled bouts have the potential to be Match of the Year candidates.

The big attraction will be Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but the United States Championship bout between John Cena and Kevin Owens could easily steal the show.

One small hiccup that forced changes to the card was Ryback suffering an injury. WWE.com has reported that the Triple Threat Intercontinental Championship match has been cancelled. As of this writing, no replacement has been announced.

Let's run through everything we know about Battleground.

Bleacher Report Writers' Thoughts and Predictions

The great writing team here at Bleacher Report have offered their thoughts and predictions for the show throughout the week.

• Aaron Bower has laid out the best finishes for each match.
• Donald Wood has given his predictions.
• Erik Beaston has predicted how each match will end.
• James Moffat has compiled predictions from several writers at B/R.

Other Battleground Thoughts

With Ryback being injured, a spot is open on the card for another match to be added, and WWE has a lot of options to choose from.

Cesaro and Rusev had two great matches this past week, and if WWE wants to capitalize on their chemistry, we could see them face off at Battleground.

Another option involves the Divas division. There isn't a single match scheduled featuring the women of WWE, and after what we saw on Raw with the debuts of Sasha Banks, Charlotte and Becky Lynch, there are plenty of potential matchups that could be made.

Nikki Bella could defend her Divas Championship against Paige again, but it would be smarter to keep the momentum going from Raw and find a way to include Banks, Lynch or Charlotte.

Another possibility would include Dolph Ziggler returning from his storyline injury to get revenge on Rusev. WWE has a lot of options at its disposal. Hopefully, the right decision will be made to add more excitement to the PPV.
