Coming out of Tuesday night's live Main Event and taped SmackDown telecasts, the WWE has continued to round out the card for the Battleground pay-per-view on July 20 at the Tampa Bay Times Forum in Florida by adding two title bouts and three matches overall.
Complete WWE SmackDown Spoilers For Friday
It was revealed on Main Event that Chris Jericho will be facing Bray Wyatt at the pay-per-view as the two have been feuding since The Wyatt Family interrupted Jericho's return on the June 30 edition of Monday Night RAW.
It was speculated that the WWE would save Wyatt vs. Jericho for SummerSlam on Aug. 17 and have Jericho battle The Miz at the July event, but the company has decided to have a Jericho vs. Wyatt clash at Battleground in what is expected to spill over into another match at SummerSlam.

Speaking of The Wyatt Family, it was revealed on the episode of SmackDown that is set to air this Friday that Luke Harper and Erick Rowan will battle The Usos in a two-out-of-three falls match for the WWE Tag Team Championships.
Another match was added to the card on SmackDown as it was revealed that AJ Lee will defend her WWE Divas Championship against Paige at the show. Lee lost the title to Paige on the April 7 edition of RAW the night after WrestleMania XXX as she was written off of television to marry and move in with former WWE Superstar CM Punk.
Lee then returned to the ring in surprising fashion on the June 30 RAW and won back the Divas Championship from Paige. Now, the two will go one-on-one again at Battleground.
The pay-per-view is headlined by a Fatal 4 Way match that will see WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena take on Randy Orton, Kane and Roman Reigns.
Also on the card is a Battle Royal for the vacant WWE intercontinental Championship and an expected match between Rusev and Jack Swagger after a challenge was issued to Rusev and Lana by Swagger and Zeb Colter on RAW.
