Battleground (2016) is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event and WWE Network event produced by WWE. It will be taking place on July 24, 2016 at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.. It will be the fourth event under the Battleground chronology, and the first event since the new WWE brand extension.

Background

The professional wrestling matches at Battleground will feature professional wrestlers performing as characters in scripted events pre-determined by the hosting promotion, WWE. Storylines between the characters played out on WWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown.

At Money in the Bank, Dean Ambrose won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after winning the Money in the Bank ladder match and cashing in on Seth Rollins after Rollins defeated Roman Reigns to win the title. The following night on Raw, Reigns and Rollins competed in a #1 contender match for the title, which ended in a double count-out. Ambrose willingly opted to defend the title against both Reigns and Rollins in a Triple Threat match, which Shane McMahon granted and made official for Battleground.
