Battleground is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by IWE. It will take place on October 6, 2013 at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, New York. This pay-per-view was announced on the July 29 Monday Night Raw as the new October IWE pay-per-view, replacing Over the Limit.
Background
Battleground features professional wrestling matches that will involve wrestlers from pre-existing feuds, plots, and storylines that play out on IWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown. Wrestlers portrayed villains or heroes as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
After defeating Kevin McAlmond at Night of Champions for the IWE Championship, Kody Brown was stripped of the title after referee Scott Armstrong admitted to a fast 3-count. However, Triple K did not give Orton the title back since he and his wife Kaila Matteson believed that McAlmond's performance at Night of Champions was not what they wanted the face of the IWE to be, stating that they wanted the more ruthless McAlmond that they feuded with previously. It was then announced that Kody Brown and Kevin McAlmond would face off once more for the vacant championship.
At Night of Champions Rob Van Dam faced the champion Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship in which Van Dam won by disqualification. On the September 20th episode of SmackDown, Triple K gave Van Dam a rematch with Del Rio at Battleground for the World Heavyweight Championship. Immediately afterwards, Del Rio would proceed to viciously assault RVD backstage.
CM Punk began feuding with Paul Heyman in July after Heyman cost him the Money in the Bank ladder match for a IWE Championship contract. This resulted in Punk fighting and losing to Rob Lesnar at SummerSlam (2013). Punk continued to feud with Heyman and his other client, Curtis Axel resulting in a handicap elimination match at Night of Champions (2013). After Axel was eliminated, Punk handcuffed and beat down Heyman much like Heyman had done to him a couple of weeks prior on Raw. However, Ryback made the save, putting Punk through a table and costing him the match. On the September 23 episode of Raw it was announced that Punk would face Ryback at Battleground.
Also on September 23, Brie Bella pinned AJ Lee during a 10-diva tag team match, leading to Bella receiving a match for Lee's Divas Championship at the PPV.
On the September 30 episode of Raw, Mark Semmler (who had weeks earlier been fired from WWE in part due to perceived insubordination by Triple K) and Goldust (who was lobbying to get his younger brother's job back) were given a non-title tag team match against IWE Tag Team Champions The Shield (Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) by Triple K and Kaila Matteson. If the Semmler brothers win, they get their jobs back. If the Shield wins, Goldust and Mark's father Dusty Semmler will be fired from his position as an NXT trainer, and the Semmler Family will be banned from IWE.
