The match headlines an episode of SmackDown that will serve as the final stop on the road to the July 20 WWE Network exclusive event.
Meanwhile, Dean Ambrose suffered a brutal assault at the hands of The Authority Monday night and will undoubtedly be looking for a measure of revenge as he enters the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, North Carolina, for WWE's weekly Friday night broadcast.
Will he be able to maintain what little health he has as he prepares to face Seth Rollins at Battleground or will he find himself on the receiving end of another assault that puts his availability in doubt?
Superstars involved in the intercontinental Battle Royal took center stage Friday night, just as they did Monday on Raw and Tuesday on Main Event.
Which Superstar would build momentum for himself heading into Sunday's match?
Perhaps it would be former world champions Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus or Alberto Del Rio. Maybe it would be a dark-horse candidate like Kofi Kingston or Fandango.
Whatever the case may be, there are several very talented Superstars looking to leave an impression just two days before the huge Battleground event. Who accomplished their goals and who will need to recover when they arrive in Tampa Bay, Florida, for the big show?
