3. Dolph Ziggler Explains His Actions and Vents Out His Frustration

A lot of people would expect John Cena to turn heel after he would show flashes of the old Doctor of Thuganomics gimmicks last week. However, out of the blue, Dolph Ziggler turned heel following another loss to Baron Corbin. Kalisto would make the save for Ziggler. However, Ziggler’s response was a super-kick to the Luchador.

Ziggler would again vent out his frustration during a well-written locker room brawl with Apollo Crewe. The angle did well to exhibit some kind of personality for Crews. It would also further cement Ziggler’s turn. Expect the show off to explain his actions and eventually turn on the WWE Universe too. Ziggler would utter the words ‘I don’t need anybody’ as he stood over Kalisto. Expect the show-off to reiterate those words to the crowd as well.

Expect Ziggler to showcase more edge and aggression to his character. One would also expect Crews and/or Kalisto to take matters into their own hands. I would predict Crews having a match with Ziggler and winning due to Kalisto’s distractions. That would give Crews a win and Kalisto and Ziggler, a reason to move on to a feud. Whatever the case be, expect a fresh character shift and renewed passion from heel Ziggler.
