It appears local advertising for WWE’s Battleground pay-per-view on July 20th in Tampa has leaked out a few days early.
The two main events announced are Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton and Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins.

Also advertised to appear are John Cena, Bray Wyatt, Kane, Rob Van Dam, Sheamus, Cesaro, Big Show, Alberto Del Rio, Bad News Barrett and Kofi Kingston.

There was at least some talk within WWE of saving Roman Reigns vs. Triple H until the September Night of Champions pay-per-view as a big match that will help push WWE Network renewals for the earlier subscribers. It was reported that Reigns vs. Kane would take place at Battleground with Reigns vs. Orton at SummerSlam, if they went that route but as we noted this morning, Reigns vs. Orton is already booked for Battleground.

There was also talk of doing a possible swerve at Money In the Bank with Orton winning the WWE World Heavyweight Title, leading to Reigns vs. John Cena vs. Orton at Battleground. That would have been when Cena wins the title to set up Cena vs. Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.
