Battleground 2016 Divas Tag team match

WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte has granted Sasha Banks a match at WWE Battleground — just not the one that The Boss has been gunning for.

Moments after ambushing Sasha on the July 14 edition of SmackDown, Charlotte and her powerhouse partner-in-crime, Dana Brooke, informed their rival that they have contracted to face Sasha and a partner of her choice at WWE Battleground. That is, as Dana pointed out, if The Boss can convince another Superstar to join forces with her against the platinum-blonde bullies.

Since returning to action last month, Sasha has been hot on the trail of Charlotte, insisting that had it not been for WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair’s involvement at WrestleMania, the WWE Women’s Title wound be around Sasha’s waist, not Charlotte’s. To prove her mettle as a title contender, Sasha then overcame Dana in back-to-back matches, first beating her on Raw and then in a return match proposed by Charlotte on SmackDown.

Though The Boss has now definitively gotten the better of Dana twice, Charlotte appears no more eager to give her a title opportunity. Might Charlotte’s hand be forced if, at WWE Battleground, Sasha is successful in finding a partner who can help her notch an all-important win? Or will Dana’s prediction that The Boss rolls alone come to fruition, leaving her vulnerable to a 2-on-1 battle?
