WWE Battleground 2016: 10 Shocks That Could Happen
6. Randy Orton Shows Trepidation Over Brock Lesnar Match
In order to break up the in-ring action, WWE have scheduled Randy Orton to appear on Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel at Battleground. One surprise could be in the form of a bonus match, there's a chance that Jericho could insult Randy to the point that the pair end up squaring off in-ring.
Most are expecting Y2J to probe Orton verbally enough to rattle him, WWE really require a big vocal performance from the veteran on the pay-per-view. There's been a real lack of build already towards his match with Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, but that needs to start now if the bout has any chance of being a big success.
As he's on the comeback trail, it's logical to assume Orton will be cocky and confident in his own abilities. It'd therefore be a shock if he was trepidatious, questioning whether or not he's ready to come back from injury and face someone like Brock Lesnar.
Nobody would see that tone coming, but it'd humanise Randy as a babyface and hopefully rally some support behind him.
