10 Shocks We Could See At WWE Battleground

9. Rusev Taps Out To Jack Swagger

WWE has struck gold with a feud that is very reminiscent of the 1980's Cold War era rivalry between Magnum TA and Nikita Koloff. Jack Swagger versus Rusev has become red hot and has garnered more positive crowd reaction than anyone likely ever dreamed possible. Swagger's role as the All-American has been played to perfection by both he and Zeb Colter, who are tired of the constant verbal attacks which have come at the hands of Rusev and Lana. Jack has become the hero of this piece while Rusev is the merciless villain. And now they will go to war at Battleground. But the question of who will go over is looming over this feud. If Rusev wins then it could potentially kill the momentum that Swagger and Colter have built up since they turned face. Rusev's belief that he is the superior athlete would be fully realized and after that, what would be the need for the rivalry to continue? However if Swagger goes over, then Rusev will have suffered his first loss and that could ultimately hurt any possibility he has of working as a main event Superstar in the future. And if he taps out, it could do irreparable damage to his character who has been portrayed as the unstoppable brute. But anything can happen and the company may not be able to resist giving the crowd what they want with a Rusev loss.So will WWE give Swagger the biggest moment he's had in his career since winning the World Championship? Will he make Rusev tap out at Battleground?
