10 Things WWE Did Right At Battleground

A new Intercontinental Champion is crowd and tag teams steal the show.

This past Sunday's WWE Battleground event will not go down as the best PPV of the year. That's WrestleMania 30. It also wasn't the worst, which would probably go to the Royal Rumble. It was disappointing in the sense that it was just an average show and there was nothing that happened that really got people talking in a positive way. It seems like the biggest talking point during Battleground was Lana's promo before the Rusev/Swagger match, which really wasn't that offensive. While she did mention current events in the world, at no point did she mention anything specific to the missile attacks against the Air Malaysia flight that killed 298 people. On Monday afternoon, WWE released the following statement: "Last night's segment during WWE's Battleground event was in no way referring to the Malaysia Airlines tragedy. The storyline with characters Rusev and Lana has been a part of WWE programming for more than 3 months. WWE apologizes to anyone who misunderstood last night's segment and was offended." While that angle was the biggest talking point off screen, there were many things that WWE did right at Battleground in terms of the booking perspective and having one match that was one of the best of the year. Here's a look at ten things that WWE did right at Battleground.
