”Raw’s most destructive forces collide for the first time even when “The Destroyer” SAMOA JOE faces “The Beast Incarnate” BROCK LESNAR for the Universal Championship. The on-going rivalry between BRAUN STROWMAN and ROMAN REIGNS continues in an Ambulance Match where only one WWE Superstar will walk out on their own and the other will be sent to the hospital. Raw Women’s Champion ALEXA BLISS tries to keep her reign alive as she does battle with number one contender SASHA BANKS. Plus, more! Goodness gracious… it’s GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!”
Battleground Synopsis…
”In a match that hasn’t been seen in WWE for nearly a decade, “The Modern-Day Maharaja” JINDER MAHAL defends his WWE Championship against “The Viper” RANDY ORTON in a Punjabi Prison Match. “The New Face of America” KEVIN OWENS hope to live up to his moniker against AJ STYLES for the United States Championship. The returning JOHN CENA pits America on his back against Bulgaria’s RUSEV in a Flag Match. And the next contender for NAOMI’s SmackDown Women’s Championship will be decided in a Fatal 5-Way Elimination Match. The Superstars of SmackDown Live put it all on the line at BATTLEGROUND.”
Inside the 2-disc DVD packaging you’ll find a free Topps trading card featuring John Cena.
In regard to special features, sadly the set is lacking as neither show features its respective ‘Kickoff’ matches (Neville vs. Tozawa and Aiden English vs. Tye Dillinger). In addition, another notable edit is the removal of the Jerry Lee Lewis “Great Balls of Fire” song, replaced with an instrumental version.
A special thanks goes out to WDN readers Matthew Tremble and Sunny G for their help.

Looking back on Great Balls of Fire, since Jerry Lee Lewis’s iconic song of the same name was used, having a 50s style ring and event setup to go with it would have helped give the PPV a theme and maybe even save WWE money. The company likes that sleek corporate feel where everything is uniform, branding and all it entails. Christian Miracle’s YouTube channel recently brought this up. Food for thought.
Or WWE freebird.
I pre-ordered my copy of balls of fire/battleground last night.i hope Amazon doesn’t say “temporarily out of stock” on the day it’s released
What Walmart? What state you in? I want to make sure it’s close so I can possibly get this today. Got a long walk. Need to make sure if I go it’s there,you know?
