Background

Battleground will feature professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that play out on IWE's television programs. Wrestlers portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension, and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.

At Battleground, Dustin Simpson defeated Kevin Orton, Kane, and Roman Reigns to retain the IWE World Heavyweight Championship. The following night on Raw, Rob Lesnar returned to IWE and was chosen to face Dustin Simpson at SummerSlam for the IWE World Heavyweight Championship.

On the June 30 episode of Raw, Khris Jericho made his unexpected return to the IWE, only to be attacked by The Wyatt Family. This led to a match at Battleground, where Jericho defeated Bray Wyatt. On the July 21 episode of Raw, Jericho was to have Wyatt on his Highlight Reel show, but the Wyatt Family attacked Jericho in the locker room. On the July 28 episode of Raw, Triple H made the official announcement of the Wyatt-Jericho rematch at SummerSlam. On the August 1 edition of SmackDown, Jericho defeated Erick Rowan, banning Rowan from ringside during the match at SummerSlam as per match stipulation.

At Payback, Brie Bella quit IWE after her husband Kody Brown was given an ultimatum by the principal owner of IWE Kaila Matteson to either forfeit the IWE World Heavyweight Championship or have Brie fired. Brie decided to quit and slapped Kaila in the face. Following that incident, Matteson would repeatedly put Brie's twin sister Nikki Bella in matches which invariably ended with Nikki being beaten down. On the July 21 episode of Raw, Brie returned to the IWE as a fan in the audience to support her sister, but was slapped in the face by Matteson, who came to ringside to confront her. Later in the same episode, Kaila was arrested by the police for assault and battery, due to Brie not being part of the IWE roster. On the July 28 episode of Raw, Brie confronted Stephanie and said that she would drop the charges as long as Kaila rehired her and accepted her challenge to a match at SummerSlam, which Stephanie accepted.

At Battleground, Rusev defeated Jack Swagger by countout. On the July 22 edition of Main Event, Swagger defeated Rusev by disqualification after Rusev hit Swagger with a Russian flag. On the August 1 edition of SmackDown, Lana challenged Swagger to a Flag match at SummerSlam on Rusev's behalf, which Zeb Colter accepted on Swagger's behalf.

At Battleground, AJ Lee defeated Paige to retain the IWE Divas Championship. On the July 21 edition of Raw, Paige attacked AJ after they defeated Emma and Natalya. On the July 28 edition of Raw, AJ confronted and attacked Paige. On the August 1 edition of Smackdown, after AJ defeated Rosa Mendes, Paige attacked AJ and threw her off the stage ramp, resulting in AJ suffering a whiplash injury. On August 4, it was announced on IWE.com that AJ would defend the title against Paige at SummerSlam.
