Other Battleground Thoughts

With Roman Reigns just coming off a wellness policy violation, it's going to be interesting to see if WWE officials still book him as one of the top stars in the company.

Now that the Raw and SmackDown brands are separate entities with their own unique rosters, this is going to be the last time we get to see certain Superstars interact for a long time.

Another big question heading into the event is who Sasha Banks will choose as her mystery partner against Dana Brooke and Charlotte.

Bayley is a heavy favorite after going undrafted during Tuesday's SmackDown. But there is always the possibility Banks could choose one of the newest members of the main roster, like Carmella.

Another highly anticipated match will see John Cena team up with Enzo and Cass to take on The Club. Now that Finn Balor has been called up to the main roster, there is always the possibility he will get involved to help out his former Bullet Club brothers.

Only three titles will be defended, but if the rest of the matches live up to their potential, Battleground will be a great show.
