7 Worst Matches In WWE Battleground History

7. Bray Wyatt Vs. Kofi Kingston (2013)

Debuting just a few months before the pay-per-view, Bray Wyatt faced Kofi Kingston at Battleground 2013. Previously, Wyatt had directly set his sights on Kane, facing his foe in a unique 'Ring Of Fire' Match at SummerSlam. Fans were divided on the bout, but it was a lot more entertaining than his follow-up feud.

Engaging in a mini-feud of sorts, Bray next aimed fire at Kingston. This felt like a step backwards for Wyatt, he didn't really need to be taking part in throwaway pay-per-view matches. Unfortunately, WWE thought he did, and that's why he was put against Kofi at Battleground.

This was before the advent of The New Day, a time when Kingston was stuck in no man's land on the main roster. A push didn't look forthcoming, but he was still considered a big enough name that a loss to Wyatt would help the newcomer.

In reality, it didn't really. At less than ten minutes in length, the match failed to satisfy. Wyatt needed something bigger to sink his teeth into, especially because of his newness.
