WWE Battleground 2016: Complete Match card analysis and predictions

The return

Battleground might not sound like a big pay-per-view on paper, but this year, it is an entirely different story. The fact that Battleground is the last pay-per-view stop before SummerSlam and the fact that it is the first WWE pay-per-view after the draft makes it worthy of being noted.

WWE has packed the Battleground card with eight matches so far and almost all of them look certain to deliver with the much awaited Shield Triple Threat being the main attraction.

The outcomes of Battleground are going to have a direct impact on WWE’s SummerSlam plans. So here are the complete match card analysis and predictions for the pay-per-view.

Sasha Banks and Mystery partner vs. Charlotte and Dana Brooke

Bayley or Riot

Sasha Banks and her mystery partner will go up against Charlotte and Dana at Battleground. This match has mainly two purposes: firstly, to keep the Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte singles match saved for SummerSlam and secondly, to let someone make a huge surprise.

The first is guaranteed to happen after both Sasha and Charlotte were drafted to the same show.

Speaking about the second, if Bayley does not end up being the mystery partner, the WWE fans are going to riot. Bayley was not called up for the draft and it would make sense if she shows up to help Sasha. No matter who is picked, Sasha is going to wind up on the winning side.

Prediction: Sasha Banks and Mystery partner wins
