The WWE added another singles match to the Battleground pay-per-view on July 20 at the Tampa Bay Times Forum in Florida while a Divas match may have been canceled.
Kurt Angle's Potential WWE Return Takes A Hit
The WWE has added a singles match between "Mr. Money in the Bank" Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose to the card as the two have been feuding ever since Rollins turned on Ambrose and Roman Reigns by hitting them with chair shots last month on Monday Night RAW.
It is worth noting that there was no mention of the expected Naomi vs. Cameron match on Friday's SmackDown so it may have been removed from the card.

The WWE did reveal on SmackDown that AJ Lee will defend the WWE Divas Championship against Paige while The Usos will put the WWE Tag Team Championships on the line against Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in a two-out-of-three falls match.
The card is headlined by a Fatal 4 Way for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship that will see John Cena put the gold on the line against Randy Orton, Reigns and Kane.
Elsewhere on the show, there will be a battle royal for the vacant Intercontinental Championship as Wade Barrett suffered a shoulder injury that will sideline him for several months, calling for a need for a new champion to be crowned at Battleground.
Chris Jericho is also slated to face Bray Wyatt as it was rumored they would hold off their singles match until SummerSlam, but the WWE later revealed that they would square off at Battleground.
Rusev is expected to face Jack Swagger at the event as Swagger and Zeb Colter issued the challenge to Rusev and Lana on RAW, however the company hasn't had Rusev accept it yet so the match isn't official. It is expected that the match will take place on next Sunday's show despite it not being official as of this week.

Fatal 4 Way for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship:
John Cena (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns vs. Kane
