The Battleground PPV line-up was unchanged Monday night on Raw and Tuesday night on Smackdown.
No matches were added to the line-up and WWE did not reveal Sasha Banks’s mystery tag partner.
Any additions, including the PPV pre-show match(es), will come during the week when WWE finalizes the line-up internally.
There is some intrigue with the matches already announced, though, following the Draft…
– WWE champion Dean Ambrose is on Smackdown defending against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, who are both on Raw.
– U.S. champion Rusev is on Raw defending against Smackdown wrestler Zack Ryder.
– IC champion The Miz is on Smackdown defending against Raw wrestler Darren Young.
