WWE Battleground PPV Sunday Line-up – Shield Explodes, Reigns & Orton return, Cena-Styles, Sasha’s teammate; Network Schedule

In-between the WWE Draft and the official brand split is the Battleground PPV wrapping up feuds before wrestlers go their separate ways.

Or, in the case of A.J. Styles & John Cena and Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, staying on the same brand after Battleground.

Battleground also marks the TV return of Roman Reigns following his 30-day suspension for a Wellness Policy violation.

Reigns joins Seth Rollins as two Raw brand challengers to the WWE World Hvt. Title held by Dean Ambrose in the PPV main event.

Battleground also marks the TV return of Randy Orton after recovering from a major shoulder injury that has kept him off TV the entire year. Orton is scheduled to join Chris Jericho on the “Highlight Reel” previewing his Summerslam match against Brock Lesnar.
