Dolph Ziggler Re-Debuts

Ziggler doesn’t get the “Emmalina” treatment for his re-debut. He comes out, exactly as he was before and calls out the WWE Universe claiming that they aren’t looking for actual in-ring talent, they just want a flashy gimmick. Ziggler then comes out and puts on caricatures of John Cena, Macho Man, and Naomi’s introductions. After he is done, he says the crowd is pathetic.

I think Ziggler is a great performer who has been sabotaged by poor, inconsistent booking. This seems like a legitimate gripe that he has with the WWE. Hopefully, we see him delve further and further into madness. Is this Ziggler’s breaking point, or can he go any lower?

Sami Zayn vs. Aiden English

Aiden English def. Sami Zayn  Oklahoma Roll Up

Rating: 0.5/5

Okay, this is a roll-up win you can roll your eyes at. It really hurts my heart to even write this. Somehow, inexplicably Sami Zayn, maybe the send best wrestler on your roster, is losing to English clean as a whistle. Don’t get me wrong, I love English, but Sami Zayn should be competing for championships, not for wins over a career jobber. I can’t help but feel like Zayn could easily fit somewhere in the ongoing Kevin Owen’s storyline.
