WWE Battleground: 10 Awesome Moments

10. Red Hot Atmosphere In Opener Set The Tone

Stand up each and every single person who was in attendance for WWE Battleground 2015 at the Scottrade Centre in St. Louis, Missouri, because you were utterly fantastic and helped turn what could have been a run-of-the-mill Pay-Per-View into an exciting one. Of course, hometown hero Randy Orton was in the opener, so people were always going to be hot, but their excitement didn't end after the first match was over.

It is fair to say that aside from the John Cena vs. Kevin Owens match and the main event, the live crowd were never more invested in a match than the curtain jerker. Both Sheamus and Orton gave folks a reason to be interested, and the audience duly obliged by being loud and animated throughout the bout.

It can be difficult to find rowdy crowds at WWE events nowadays, for a variety of reasons, but the capacity audience inside the building for Battleground helped things motor along at a nice pace. They were never hotter than for Randy Orton's patented RKO, which fittingly "came out of nowhere" and popped the crowd nicely.
