Bang for Your Buck PPV Review: WWE Battleground

Rhodes Family defeat The Shield

What Nick Wants to Happen: Goldust carries the match, Cody comes in for the hottest tag ever, goes Super Mario on entire Better for Business Bureau.

What Will Happen: Cody wins, Dusty gets “hurt” by The Shield, Dustin takes a spear so big that it knocks the paint off his face.

This turned out exactly how we thought and how we wanted. This was as good as match as you are going to see on any show. There are times when wrestling translates directly the place where the feels are located.  It was clear from everyone’s reaction that this was a bigger deal for the Rhodes family than just a television angle. The Shield continue to tell a vibrant, interesting story every time they are in the ring, and working with a pro like Goldust and a guy who can go like Cody was a perfect compliment to their styles. I don’t know what else to say without gushing. So, here’s Dusty giving the Bionic Elbow to Dean Ambrose:

Match: 1.0 | PPV: 2.4
