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 his contract on Seth Rollins after Rollins defeated Roman Reigns to win the title. The following night on Raw, a #1 Contender's match between Reigns and Rollins ended in a double count-out. After the match, Shane McMahon, on Ambrose's request, made a Triple Threat match between all three former Shield members at Battleground. On June 21, two days after Money in the Bank, Reigns was suspended for 30 days for violating WWE's Wellness Program, which uses drug testing to detect substance abuse. Pro Wrestling Torch reported that WWE knew of Reigns' violation before Money in the Bank, leading to Reigns being scripted to lose his world title at the event. However, with Reigns' suspension ending before Battleground, WWE is still advertising him as part of the Battleground main event.
