8 Things That Must Happen At WWE Battleground 2017

5. Nakamura Has To Win, And Recapture His Form

Baron Corbin is the Money in the Bank briefcase holder, and while I like to see wrestlers in this position kept relatively strong for their eventual cash-in, the Lone Wolf can perhaps afford to take a loss here.

His opponent, on the other hand, probably can't. Nakamura has been a little underwhelming since joining the main roster - and although this isn't entirely his own fault, accusations of 'phoning it in' have been levied at the former NJPW frontrunner.

WWE's best course of action here is also the most obvious one: have Shinsuke defeat Corbin, and move him into a programme with AJ Styles (as teased at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view).
