WWE Battleground
WWE Battleground was a professional wrestling event produced by the WWE, a Connecticut–based promotion, and broadcast live and available through pay-per-view and the WWE Network. The event was established in 2013, debuting in October on WWE's pay-per-view calendar. In 2014, the event moved to the July slot of WWE's pay-per-view calendar. In 2016, the event is regarded as the last PPV event featuring both superstars from Raw and SmackDown, before the newly reinstated WWE brand extension went into full effect.
With the brand extension reinstated in 2016, the pay-per-view in 2017 was a SmackDown branded event. The event was expected to return in 2018, as a Raw branded event. However, the event was taken off WWE's PPV lineup as all events after WrestleMania 34 became dual-branded.
