When the WWE Battleground 2014 spotlight is aimed at the Fatal 4-Way for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, a grudge match, a meeting of mammoths and a clash between two smooth-tongued stars have the best shot of eclipsing the main event.
Bray Wyatt vs. Chris Jericho, Jack Swagger vs. Rusev, and Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins each have the talent and buildup necessary to steal the show come July 20.
John Cena's title defense may not be the match that ends up making headlines the day after the event. Battleground features a trio of contests with the potential to provide the most thrills and be what fans talk about in the weeks following the pay-per-view.
As good as Paige vs. AJ Lee could be, there hasn't been enough buildup for it. Champion and challenger exchanging pleasantries isn't the way to inject momentum into a feud.
Perhaps WWE is waiting until SummerSlam to truly milk the dramatic potential of this collision.
The Intercontinental Championship Battle Royal will benefit from its various subplots and stars like Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler. The format, though, makes it less likely to steal the show. Non-Royal Rumble Battle Royals are generally not great matches, often because they're too crowded early on.
