WWE Battleground Kickoff Match Confirmed

WWE added a new match for this Sunday’s Battleground pay-per-view event and confirmed a match for the “Kickoff” show. Tye Dillinger will compete against Aiden English during the Kickoff. Coincidentally, this isn’t the first time the two SmackDown Live superstars fought in the pre-show as they battled in the Backlash Kickoff show last May in Chicago. Dillinger won the match in approximately eight minutes. Ahead of Sunday’s show, a SmackDown Live Fallout video was released featuring English performing a song about Dillinger.

Main Show Rematch

For the main pay-per-view show, Sami Zayn will have a rematch against Mike Kanellis. Zayn and Kanellis wrestled during the latest SmackDown Live, which served as Kanellis’s in-ring debut. Kanellis won the match, although with heavy interference from Maria Kanellis.
