When: 23rd July at 8PM Eastern and 5PM Pacific
Where: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia Pennsylvania
Watch: On Pay Per View or WWE Network
I kinda wish they used the promo art from the first ads for Battleground where they had the wrestlers in face paint and stuff to match their character. It was nice and colourful but now it's all "Rah Rah non americans bad" and I dunno it's gonna be weird.
Preshow Match: Tye Dillinger Vs. Aiden English
It's bizarre to me that English has had more time on TV than Dillinger has. If that doesn't tell you how fucked up Smackdown's midcard is I dunno what will.
Breezango Vs. The Culprit(s)
Months of expert detective work, cunning disguises and a deceased horse (RIP Tully), the Fashion Police may finally have their perpetrators brought to justice.
Sami Zayn Vs. Mike Kanellis
The match image on the site wouldn't load so here's a placeholder. They fought already and Sami lost. Apparently Mike's finisher is "The Punch of Love", reminds me of William Regal's "Power of the Punch" except with less brass knuckles.
Fatal Five Way to determine the Number One Contender for the Smackdown Women's Championship: Tamina Vs. Natalya Vs. Charlotte Vs. Lana Vs. Becky Lynch
They have absolutely no faith in Naomi do they? She's done nothing note worthy and she's not even getting spots on PPV cards anymore. Whoever wins is pretty much guaranteed to take the title off her.
United States Championship Match: Aj Styles Vs. Kevin Owens
See the match didn't change after all? Some of you got too hot under the collar over AJ winning. Nothing got messed up, everything is hunky dory.
Shinsuke Nakamura Vs. Baron Corbin
You say wasting Nakamura's talent, I say not blowing their load all in one go. I know you all want AJ Vs. Nakamura right now, but you gotta slow burn this stuff.
Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match: The Usos Vs. The New Day
If you haven't seen the rap battle segment yet, you should go watch it. It'll make you feel good about this feud regardless of how it turns out.
Flag Match: John Cena Vs. Rusev
Stay strong. Don't cry for Rusev. He's been through this pain before. He knows the turmoil of being the foreign heel. He will persevere and maybe Cena will make him look strong. It'll all be over soon.
Punjabi Prison Match for the WWE Championship: Jinder Mahal Vs. Randy Orton
Remember when we joked about them bringing back this match? Remember when the first Punjabi Prison happened and Great Khali didn't even wrestle cause he wasn't fit enough to do it?
