WWE Battleground Early Preview - 7 Matches That Will Take Place

6. AJ vs. Paige - Divas Championship (rumored)

WWE.comWWE.comAJ made a shocking return to WWE last Monday, quelling any rumors that she may be pregnant. In the process, the claimed the Diva€™s Championship from Paige, who won the belt from AJ the night after Wrestlemania, after which AJ took a hiatus to marry CM Punk. Paige is entitled to her rematch clause, so it seems only natural that she will cash in that rematch against AJ at the Battleground Pay Per View. Prediction: Apparently management (namely Vince McMahon) has been sour on Paige. Despite her wrestling skills, she still has a ways to go on the microphone. It€™s possible that she might be demoted to NXT after this match, since she hinted that people might want her back down there in her promo last Monday before AJ returned. For this reason, it€™s extremely likely that AJ will retain the Diva€™s Championship.

5. The Usos vs. Luke Harper & Erick Rowan - WWE Tag Team Championship (rumored)

WWE.comWWE.comThis would be a rematch from the opener at Money in the Bank. The match was fantastic, as the two teams have faced off numerous times on the house show circuit and have tremendous chemistry with each other. The rivalry would have probably ended with that match, as the Usos retained the titles cleanly, but Luke Harper pinned one of the Usos in a six man tag team match last week on Raw, which signals that a rematch for the titles is likely to take place at Battleground. Prediction: Despite the Usos winning last time, there€™s a good chance that Harper and Rowan will win the belts at Battleground, with a rubber match for the belts likely to take place at Summerslam.
