WWE.com has announced that Chris Jericho vs. Bray Wyatt will take place at Battleground and NOT SummerSlam as originally planned. There is no word on why WWE changed course and is rushing the match but it’s possible that they’ll be doing a rematch (likely with a stipulation) at SummerSlam. They could also add someone like The Miz to the match at Battleground but that seems unlikely as of now.
With Wyatt vs. Jericho now confirmed, here is the updated card for WWE Battleground:
Fatal Four-Way For The WWE Title:
John Cena vs. Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns vs. Kane
Battle Royal For The Intercontinental Title:
Cesaro, Kofi Kingston, Damien Sandow, The Great Khali, Rob Van Dam, Dolph Ziggler, Big E, Ryback, Sheamus, Curtis Axel, Alberto Del Rio, Bo Dallas, Fandango
Jack Swagger vs. Rusev
Bray Wyatt vs. Chris Jericho
