Dolph Ziggler vs. Tyler Breeze

Many moons ago, before the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tournament, Dolph Ziggler and Tyler Breeze looked like they were going to collide at Survivor Series.

Ziggler and Summer Rae were both left heartbroken after their respective lovers, Lana and Rusev, spontaneously decided to get engaged and leave Ziggler and Summer in the dust. Summer Rae was hoping she could parlay her and Ziggler’s shared sorrow into a new romance between the two scorned individuals; Dolph wanted to be alone for a while—you know, to figure stuff out and whatever. Summer Rae didn’t take kindly to rejection, and, as opposed to letting bygones be bygones, she shacked up with Tyler Breeze, and the two set out to make Ziggler’s life miserable.

Funny how that works.

Anyway, Ziggler and Breeze started getting into it a bit, but then, as fate would have it, the title tournament came along, and the two men set their differences aside to focus on pursuing championship gold. To further affirm an unspoken truce, the Ziggler and Breeze left one another alone throughout the tournament, never getting involved in the other’s matchup, like they had been doing in all the weeks previous.

Then they each lost to Dean Ambrose—Breeze first, followed by Ziggler. Given that they were both eliminated from the tournament, Breeze took the initiative to talk smack about Ziggler on the aptly named SmackDown, and the two came to blows shortly after.

Feud back on.

In infinite other realities, you’d think these two guys could’ve at least been best friends before transitioning into bad blood (great angle, right?), but these two are breaking from tradition and starting their collective story as enemies. And regardless of the stop-and-go nature of this feud, Ziggler and Breeze have a chance to put on the match of the night based on their combined athleticism alone.
