With Battleground just over a week away the Smackdown Live pay per view already has some pretty juicy contests scheduled. The event is now in its fifth year and is taking place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Sunday July 23 8 PMET/5 PMPT. To book tickets click here.
Bouts currently on the match card according to wwe.com are as follows
Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch vs. Natalya vs. Tamina vs. Lana (Five-Way Elimination No. 1 Contender’s Match)
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Baron Corbin
John Cena vs. Rusev (Flag Match)
SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos vs. The New Day
United States Champion AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens
WWE Champion Jinder Mahal vs. Randy Orton (Punjabi Prison Match)
I expect one or two more will be added this week on Smackdown Live as there are some notable absentees from the roster who currently don't have a match booked. After the events on SDL last week I wouldn't be surprised if Sami Zayn and Mike Kanellis had a match. The Hype Bros and Breezango could have a tag team match and Dolph Ziggler, Eric Rowan and Luke Harper are not featured although they seem to have been out of favor with the WWE recently.
