They don't go with him in 2014 after survivor series when he's red hot no, they go with him after he's been stale and boring in the midcard for the last 2 years and doing an HBK tribute act. Makes sense.
This guy has no business being in a WWE title match at Summerslam after the booking he's had this year. This was just a fucking swerve to shock people and be like "See we're pushing guys that don't normally get a push" except this guy has been boring as fuck all year and been all around awful. AJ or Bray deserved this title shot, Ziggler would be an acceptable challenger on say a ppv like Battleground or Fastlane, not fucking Summerslam.
Its absolutely pathetic that they had AJ take the pin after Ziggler has jobbed to Baron Corbin like 5 times this year and been a jobber to nearly everyone else.
Ziggler is just an easy win for Dean, but only seems worthy of a TV main event. Dean should have just beat him on Smackdown and fought AJ or Bray at Summerslam.
Or maybe they should start taking drugs, it might actually help them.
If wasn't them because they will face each other at Summerslam. For that reason it should have been Bray Wyatt. Since he has a history with Ambrose and has beat Ambrose a lot in the past. So it actually seems like Wyatt could win. While Ziggler he just jobbed to Ambrose on Raw two months ago.
This is the perfect example of not needing a title defense for every PPV. Probably should've booked some sort of tag team place holder feud for Ambrose to compete in for Summerslam. Then have his first title defense post brand split be at the first Smackdown PPV. Whatever though lol at least Ambrose is guaranteed to go over.
They have lost their fucking minds. SummerSlam is their 2nd biggest show of the year and the 2 big title matches include a guy half the Raw/SD audience doesn't know yet and a guy who has been a decent midcarder at best for a couple of years. Holy shit, WTF are they smoking?
Would've preferred Wyatt, but I'm cool with Ziggler. Think Ziggler and Ambrose will surprise some people at Summerslam. One of them's probably going to have to turn heel though to make the feud interesting.
Ughh has anyone cared for Ziggler since 2014? I have no problem having new people in world title picture but he shouldn't be in the WWE championship match at Summer Slam. Why not Styles? Wyatt? Even Cena wouldn't be a bad choice. With that being said, I hope he takes it off Ambrose.
But Balor does? What has he done? Please Dolph was one of the most over guys in the company at one time and is a former world champ. Now that we have Brands guys that didn't shine before finally can now. Smackdown has to build it's Brand.
Dolph Ziggler is former World Champion, who's also been US and IC champion. That said he jobbed to Ambrose on Raw two months ago. He just came off losing a 2 of 3 to Baron Corbin. If they wanted to repackage Ziggler and give him another main event push. They should have at least teased a heel turn or something. Yes Smackdown wants to do AJ/Cena, so whoever faced Ambrose was just to job to him. With Ambrose real title challenges coming after Summerslam with AJ/Cena/Orton. But they should have at least had Ambrose face Bray Wyatt given there history. That's a much bigger match up then Dean/Dolph.
When Dolph is booked well, he is over as hell and he is at the top of his game (and I'm not even a huge fan of the guy). Ziggler could be one of the much needed talents hovering between midcard and main event for SDL that the majority were bitching about in the Discussion thread. They have weeks to build up this match and give Ziggler more impetus. Plus, they can both talk and it'll most likely be a good match.
I get the hostility but this is just a random filler match that they probably expect to be a good addition to the Summerslam card. AJ Styles still has John Cena to deal with and they're probably building Bray back up and he will chase the gold. Likewise with Corbin and Crews, they probably need a bit more seasoning and to be built up more (debuting Finn Balor having a World Title match straight away notwithstanding). As surprising as it seems, Ziggler is the safe choice for a decent match.
I must say, I've been souring on Ziggler since his return last year but when he won and celebrated, I felt... happy for him. Weird.
The biggest fail is AJ taking the fall and to someone with awful credibility no less..
If this is Bryan's "risky" choice, then all it's done is sour me on SD out the gate.
