7 Best WWE Battleground Matches

7. The Usos Vs. The Wyatt Family (2014)

The Usos are in a strange place right now, a veteran team that somehow sits nowhere near the top of the WWE tag-team division. As babyfaces, they were hurt due to an association with Roman Reigns, and they haven't featured too heavily throughout 2016. Rewind to 2014, and there was still a lot of hope there.

At Battleground 2014, The Usos faced The Wyatt Family in a truly worthwhile 2-Out-Of-3-Falls Match. After Adam Rose vs. Fandango and Cameron vs. Naomi had stunk out the Kickoff portion of the program, both these duos opened the pay-per-view proper in fine fashion.

Watching the event back, it's clear that the match was helped by the dirge people had been forced to sit through before it. The Wyatts were very much over, and both Luke Harper and Erick Rowan were a credit to themselves throughout.

There is a good pop when Jimmy and Jey win by 2-1, signalling that fans do like them when they're booked effectively. In terms of opening matches, this must be considered the best in Battleground history to date.
