Following Tuesday night’s episode of WWE Smackdown Live, new matches have been announced for the upcoming Smackdown-only Battleground PPV on July 23.
This includes Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Baron Corbin, a five-way elimination No. 1 Contenders match featuring Charotte vs. Becky Lynch vs. Natalya vs. Tamina vs. Lana and re-confirming the originally scheduled WWE United States Championship match.
WWE had previously pulled the US Title match from the Battleground section after AJ Styles defeated Kevin Owens last Friday at Madison Square Garden for the championship. It has now been re-added with Styles defending against Owens in two weeks.
