WWE Battleground: 10 Predictions That Will Happen
1. The Shield Returns
At this point, it feels almost redundant to predict that The Shield will reform, but if it is going to happen in the near future, this weekend is by far the most likely opportunity to make it happen.
Seth Rollins is now without backup in his fight against Brock Lesnar, so calling in his fellow Hounds of Justice to help him take The Beast out feels like something with a very real possibility of happening (especially if it results in an epic three on one handicap match at SummerSlam). The fact that both Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns hate him is an issue, but they might be convinced to join him, especially if part of Seth's plan is taking down The Authority so they can rule the WWE in an nWo style takeover.
Reigns being involved in a feud with Wyatt is a problem, but won't be if he quickly dispatches of him earlier in the show. Ambrose meanwhile has been left with nothing to do at Battleground, so if anyone is going to make a surprise heel turn by helping his former brother out, it's him.
Unless Rollins shocks everyone by beating Lesnar cleanly, now is the time for him to get some back-up in this battle from The Shield, and if it doesn't happen this Sunday...well, it might be best just to forget about The Shield reforming for the foreseeable future!
