WWE Battleground 2014: 5 things that WWE did wrong at the pay-per-view
Fans went into Battleground with a lot of expectations as it was the companys last big stop before SummerSlam. Things didnt turn out as they planned and a majority was left wondering why they were excited about the pay-per-view in the first place.To be frank, it had a match card that couldve produced magic if all the right chords were pulled but like always, the WWE creative team showed that five years olds could book a better show if given the right guidance.The internet is buzzing about that fact that fans deserved better heading to SummerSlam and they have all the reasons to criticize as well. So here is a look at some of the booking decisions that has left the fans questioning WWEs current product.
#5 After match attack from Rusev
One of the surprise matches that looked solid in the end was the one between Rusev and Jack Swagger. Swagger was finally having some great spotlight after a long interval and he made full use of it.
Rusev meanwhile was pushed to more boundaries compared to his performance in Money in the Bank and was projected as a mere mortal than the monster he was build up to be. The ending also gave Swagger a chance to have a rematch in the future as he was well protected.
However, the post-match antics of Rusev just took away all the efforts that WWE put into the booking. Swagger was made to look weak once again with Rusev being the monster in the post- match attack.
Though it opens up the possibility of a rematch, WWE should’ve protected Swagger all the way to the end if they wanted to have a match at SummerSlam.
