Monday Night Raw Preview 7/13/15: Battleground Go-Home Show with Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar

The July 13, 2015 edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw emanates live from the Philips Arena in Atlanta at 8 p.m. Eastern and will serve as the go-home show for the Battleground pay-per-view on Sunday that features a main event between Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Last week, Lesnar took two axes and demolished the Cadillac that Rollins bought for J&J Security. He smashed windows, ripped the door off the hinges, flung the door into the crowd (and hit someone in the process), and suplexed J&J onto the car. He then went after Rollins, who took off so quickly that he practically left smoke trails behind his feet. Lesnar chased after him, but Rollins barely escaped.

How will WWE build the tension for the main event of Battleground tonight? By all accounts, Lesnar should rip Rollins limb from limb on Sunday and crush him on the way to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. So will they make Lesnar look even stronger tonight? Or will Kane return to help tilt the odds in the champion's favor and keep Lesnar down for the time being to create some doubt that Lesnar might lose on Sunday?

Kevin Owens has lost the NXT Championship, but now he has his sights set squarely on John Cena and the United States Championship. Last week, Owens was ready to fight Cena then and there during his Open Challenge, but Cesaro then came out and demanded another match with Cena after Owens ruined his shot the previous week. Cesaro and Cena then engaged in another classic main event match, which Cena finally won despite numerous moments throughout the match in which Cesaro almost picked up the win. After that, Owens tried to attack, but Cena dropped him with an Attitude Adjustment.

What will happen among these three men tonight? Is WWE truly positioning Cesaro as the third man in this feud, or is the company just using him to fill time and build interest in the Cena-Owens program? Will Owens look dominant tonight, or will Cena manage to maintain the upper hand prior to their match on Sunday?

Bray Wyatt continues to play mind games with Roman Reigns ahead of their match at Battleground. Wyatt had used Reigns' daughter to distract and disorient him, and for the most part, it has worked. Reigns remains focused as ever, and he's undoubtedly looking forward to punching the real Wyatt, not the fakers he has used to distract Reigns in recent weeks. Will Reigns manage to land a blow on the real Bray tonight, or will the Eater of Worlds continue to taunt Roman?

Dolph Ziggler had been rubbing his relationship with Lana in Rusev's face for weeks despite the presence of the Bulgarian's new girl, Summer Rae. But now Rusev's foot is healed, and he used that foot to kick Ziggler square in the face last week. It looks the two are headed for a match on Sunday, but will Lana and Summer be involved? Perhaps a mixed tag is upcoming at SummerSlam.

Paige continues her quest to take out The Bella Twins at the top of the Divas division, but two behind-the-scenes factors are at play here if you believe the widespread Internet theory. First, we know for a fact that Nikki Bella has been working with a shoulder injury, so it's possible that she needs some time to heal. The other, more speculative theory, is that WWE wants her to break AJ Lee's record as Divas Champion to spite CM Punk's wife. Regardless, it looks like Paige's reinforcements, whom many believe will be some NXT call-ups such as Charlotte, will not arrive until this Sunday or later. Will Paige suffer another beatdown tonight?

Ryback, Big Show, and Miz continue their program for the Intercontinental Championship that Mix is holding afloat with his hateable personality. The Prime Time Players will face The New Day on Sunday for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Dean Ambrose has dropped to feuding with Bo Dallas. Randy Orton wants to take out Sheamus. And we'll probably get King Barrett vs. R-Truth again because why not.

As always, check back with MStars immediately after the show for a full recap of all the action. But for now, let us know your thoughts, opinions, guesses, and predictions for tonight's show in the comments section.
