WWE Battleground 2017: What Fans Are Marking Out for After Latest Event

WWE Battleground may not have had a whole host of moments that fans will remember for a long time, but it did contain a few incidents to cherish.

Sunday night may well be regarded as a missed opportunity for SmackDown Live's momentum on the whole, but with SummerSlam approaching, there were some highlights.

Here are the big moments fans were left marking out to and talking about on Sunday night.

The Finish to Styles vs. Owens

To say the finish to Sunday's United States Championship match was confusing would be an understatement.

Kevin Owens took the championship back from AJ Styles just a few weeks after dropping it at Madison Square Garden, but the finish certainly got people talking.

There was some debate over whether Styles' shoulder was up for the winning pinfall, and the slow count from the referee certainly made things even more perplexing.

WWE could be pressing on with an angle on Tuesday's SmackDown Live whereby Styles demands a rematch over the controversial finish, but the confusion right now is certainly intriguing.

It was without doubt one of Sunday's biggest talking points.

The Great Khali's WWE Return

The rumor mill is usually quite good at predicting WWE returns before they happen, but the reaction of the crowd in attendance at Battleground on Sunday spoke volumes for how The Great Khali's return caught everyone out.

Khali has not been seen in WWE for three years but made his comeback on Sunday night to help Jinder Mahal retain the WWE Championship at the expense of Randy Orton.

The big question is whether Khali's return was a one-time thing or grounds for him to join Mahal's alliance. 

But no matter the answer to that question, Khali's coming back to aid Mahal certainly got the fans reacting.

The New Day's and The Usos' Delivering the Match of the Night

It's probably something of a surprise that the opening match at Battleground was the best of the night. 

But there's no doubting that The Usos and The New Day were the standout performers of Sunday's pay-per-view.

Xavier Woods in particular excelled while Kofi Kingston was put out of action midway through the match, helping the flow of the contest as Jimmy and Jey Uso tried to dominate him.

The number of false finishes also helped create a wonderful spectacle and a fascinating opening affair to Battleground.

Fans will be excited to see their next meeting following The New Day's victory.
