Aiden English def. Tye Dillinger (Kickoff Match)
PHILADELPHIA — Maestro, a curtain call if you please. Aiden English, the artistically-inclined Superstar, finally defeated Tye Dillinger at WWE Battleground Kickoff.
It was a signature performance from “The Shakespeare of Song” as he began the night by serenading the WWE Universe, despite their deafening jeers, before The Perfect 10 made

PHILADELPHIA — Break out those Booty-O’s, light up the unicorn horns and swivel your hips accordingly: The New Day are Tag Team Champions for the third time.
As has become their custom, The New Day made history in their SmackDown Tag Team Title win over The Usos at WWE Battleground, as they’re the first-ever team to hold the tag titles of
Shinsuke Nakamura def. Baron Corbin via Disqualification
PHILADELPHIA — Shinsuke Nakamura notched a win against Baron Corbin in their long-brewing debut singles clash following weeks of sneak attacks on Mr. Money in the Bank’s part, but Nakamura was the one writhing on the canvas when the final bell rang.

John Cena def. Rusev (Flag Match)
PHILADELPHIA — The American flag flew high at WWE Battleground — fittingly enough in The Birthplace of America — after John Cena defeated his longtime rival Rusev in a Flag Match, earning a win for both himself and the country he calls home.
The old-school rules of the match were simple: Grab your own flag, carry it to the top of the
Breezango’s attackers strike again at WWE Battleground
PHILADELPHIA — The truth is still out there.
The conclusion of Breezango’s “Fashion X-Files” seemed to promise a long-awaited confrontation between The Fashion Police and their mysterious attackers. And, at first, it appeared that Fandango & Tyler Breeze had finally come face-to-face with their attackers when they once again ran into
Sami Zayn def. Mike Kanellis
PHILADELPHIA — Mike Kanellis has felt the power — but not of love. Following an ill-gotten victory over Sami Zayn in his SmackDown LIVE debut, the love-struck Superstar felt the power of a kick to the face at WWE Battleground, suffering his first loss as a result.
The victory gives Zayn a much-needed measure of payback against Kanellis,
WWE Champion Jinder Mahal def. Randy Orton (Punjabi Prison Match)
PHILADELPHIA — Jinder Mahal left Randy Orton in ruins inside the Punjabi Prison at WWE Battleground to retain the WWE Championship, and he had some big help in achieving the task.
No, it wasn’t The Singh Brothers who enabled Mahal to escape the Prison to achieve the victory. The Modern-Day Maharaja’s trusted lieutenants were initially
