WWE Battleground 2016: Results, Grades and Reflections

The Smackdown roster fills the ring to celebrate the title remaining with the Blue Brand.

INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: THE MIZ VS. DARREN YOUNG(DBL DQ)

Unfortunately, The Miz and Darren Young couldn't put the pieces together at Battleground.

If there was one match that didn't meet its expectations, it was this one. In the weeks leading up to this match, Darren Young really appeared to be building some serious steam, only to fall flat when it mattered most. The whole "Make Darren Young Great again" angle with Backlund all really seemed nonsensical at the conclusion of this bout.

The Miz is someone who I have defended on a consistent basis, as one of wrestlings most underrated title holders. However, he didn't live up to that notion at Battleground.

When the bell finally rang, we had eight minutes of a disaster. For one reason or the other The Miz and Darren Young just couldn't sync up and get this thing off the ground and that's too bad.
