WWE Battleground 2016: 10 Things That Must Happen
4. Randy Orton Talks About Brock Lesnar Match Being Battle Of His Life
WWE have just given themselves a major problem with their own Draft. Brock Lesnar has been drafted to Monday Night Raw, whereas Randy Orton will call Tuesday Night SmackDown his home brand going forward. This doesn't do much for the promised match between the pair at SummerSlam in August.
Add to that the fact that the marquee match was announced without any hype anyway, and it's a confusing situation. Now more than ever, the Highlight Reel segment Orton is set to appear on come Battleground is of paramount importance. Randy really has to lay it on thick to Chris Jericho.
Saying that he watched Lesnar's UFC fight against Mark Hunt, Orton could assess that he has to beat Brock in order to get back in the hunt for titles in WWE. He's not getting any younger, so he must prove himself against the absolute best in the fighting game.
If WWE get sidetracked with Orton and Jericho arguing, it removes focus from the matter at hand. They really need to sell this bout big time.
