Isenberg Reacts: WWE Battleground “Solidifying The Youth, Spotlighting the Veterans”

Bayley Debuts

The Women’s tag team match featured the main roster debut of Bayley. The fans have wanted it and the crowd erupted when her music hit. This was an absolutely incredible moment for her. She can become the biggest woman in the WWE in quite some time and her appeal is natural and organic. She is herself and the people thrive off of her excitement and energy. One of the most pleasuring things to witness was seeing the sheer enjoyment and happiness on the face of Sasha Banks when Bayley was announced.

I thought the tag team match was exactly what it needed to be. Bayley debuting is a great moment, but you must keep a lot of the focus on Sasha Banks. Dana Brooke, albeit a great looking heel, still needs to tune her skills up in the ring to keep the same pace set by the other three women. She is still pretty new at this, but the best is yet to come. WWE gave Bayley her moment, not at the draft, but live on a big night. Great surprise, even though everyone was expecting it. The D.C. crowd was ELECTRIC.

The Wyatt Family defeated The New Day

Bray, Erick and Braun picked up a win over the New Day at Battleground in an entertaining match. My biggest question would be if WWE would give them the clean win, something much needed. Bray would get that win after a reversal and hitting Sister Abigail.

This leaves me with one question: will Bray and Rowan challenge them for the WWE Tag Team Championships? With Braun drafted to Raw (which I cannot understand for the life of me), it seems like this win only tries to solidify Bray and whoever he is paired with. Maybe WWE thinks that Rowan NEEDS Bray more than Braun needs him.
