7 Losses That Need To Happen At WWE Battleground

7. R-Truth vs. King Barrett (Kickoff)

There's a lot to like about Wade Barrett. He's been repackaged many times in his WWE career and seems to make it work every time. And by all accounts he could be pushed as a main eventer and flourish. R-Truth is also a likeable wrestler. He's been pushing the humor hard since before WrestleMania this year and it's been more funny than not. This pairing, however, just doesn't work. The winner of this match is the rightful King of the Ring, or owner of the crown, or something.

Who Needs To Lose: R-Truth

R-Truth is deserving of a ton of respect for his career but he is in the twilight of it. Barrett was IC Champion earlier this year and should be in the mix of one of the midcard titles right now. This whole rivalry is doing way too much damage not only to Barrett but to whatever notoriety should be attributed to the King of the Ring tournament. Barrett needs to beat Truth and move on.

Who Will Likely Lose: R-Truth

Surely this has all just been a bad attempt at tiding Barrett over until creative could find a way to do something better for him. There's no logical reason why Truth should win, but the same could have been said for every single Truth win in this feud so far.
