WWE Battleground 2016: Complete Match card analysis and predictions

The return

Rusev (c) vs. Zack Ryder (United States Championship)

Ryder needs to believe in Magic

The United States Championship of Rusev will be up for grabs on Sunday night as he will be defending against Zack Ryder. The drafts dropped a big hint on how this match could turn out as Ryder was drafted to SmackDown when Rusev was kept on Raw.

In addition to this, Mojo Rawley got a call up to the SmackDown roster suggesting that we could get a reunion of the Hype Bros.

In short, Ryder has a lot going for him and winning the United States Championship from Rusev wouldn’t happen from the look of things. As for Rusev, a dominating win could aid his rise in the Raw roster.

Prediction: Rusev retains
