WWE Battleground Recap Part 3: Paige Going Crazy After AJ Lee Title Rematch As Jack Swagger Wins USA Support Over Rusev Patriotic Gimmick

It's good that Paige didn't turn heel outright at Battleground last night, but the direction is a little strange and time will tell if it works out for her character. Her failed attempt to reclaim the Divas Championship was outshined by her intermittent disappointment in AJ Lee during the title rematch. After that, Jack Swagger got all patriotic on Rusev one more time, and although he lost by count out, he won the support of the USA with his "We The People" gimmick.

  • WWE Battleground Recap Part 2: Usos Epic Tag Team Title Defense, Dean Ambrose And Seth Rollins Backstage Brawl

    WWE Battleground continued with an epic 2-out-of-3 falls match between the Usos and the Wyatt Family for the Tag Team Championship. Jimmy and Jey Uso have been feuding with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan for months and they likely capped it last night with their (hopefully) final title defense against the Wyatts. After that match, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins were set to settle their beef in the ring (finally) but the two ended up brawling backstage and the match was cancelled.

  • WWE Battleground Recap Part 1: Fandango Vs. Adam Rose Funkadactyls Get Funky

    Last night's Pay-Per-View WWE Battleground was a solid night of rasslin', and some pretty good storytelling, too. As always, no PPV event is perfect, but it was a solid step toward SummerSlam next month. The pre-show "kickoff" featured two matches and a wealth of video segments and predictions from announcers and analysts, per usual, but it was definitely worth tuning in early because Adam Rose showed up with his Exotic Express, on his birthday no less! He squared off against Fandango, who has been having all manner of women troubles. Also, in the Divas division, former Funkadactyls partners Cameron and Naomi finally faced each other after their nasty split a few weeks ago. And they got funky!
