WWE Battleground: 10 Predictions That Will Happen
5. R-Truth Vs. King Barrett Will Be Terrible
Of all the predictions here, this is probably the one with a 100% chance of happening.
The sudden return of the King of the Ring tournament felt like a fairly significant moment, and while it initially appeared as if it had been brought back to help get Neville over, Bad News Barrett taking the crown didn't seem like the worst thing in the world. Of course, that feeling only lasted until the popular Bad News Barrett gimmick was dropped in preference of Wade coming out and acting like he's an actual king.
Since then, he's been engaged in a horrendously boring and childish feud with R-Truth. Maybe one of their long string of matches could be described as mildly entertaining (and that would be a push), but they've been terrible for the most part, and there's no reason to think that's going to change with this filler pre-show match on Sunday.
The fact that the winner will be declared the rightful king is ridiculous, especially after Barrett won the King of the Ring tournament (something which now feels less important than ever before). This match will sadly see his talents continue to be squandered regardless of whether he wins or loses.
