It’s a question John Cena and Dolph Ziggler will have to answer at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, when The Showoff will put his most prized possession on the line (no, not his abs) against the Cenation leader in a Ladder Match: the Money in the Bank contract for the World Heavyweight Championship.

And no, “history-making” is not hyperbole in this case. Cena is the only Superstar in WWE history to cash in his own Money in the Bank contract and fail to win a World Title as a result (he redeemed a WWE Championship contract at Raw 1,000 and beat WWE Champion CM Punk by disqualification, earning him the victory but denying him the prize). And only one Superstar in history has ever lost his Money in the Bank contract in a one-on-one match. So for Cena, TLC represents an opportunity no other Superstar has ever had: a second chance and, more importantly, an opportunity to rectify his failure at Raw 1,000 and end 2012 with the World Heavyweight Title firmly in his sights.

For Ziggler, however, the stakes are higher. The Showoff had to fight and claw to get his hands on the contract in the first place, and minus some early almost-attempts at redeeming the prize, Ziggler has proven quite stingy in his willingness to cash in. But while The Showoff has left the incumbent titleholder Big Show to his own devices against Sheamus, he’s very quietly become a force to be reckoned with. In the last month alone, Ziggler has amassed a series of impressive wins over Randy Orton, including one in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match in which Ziggler emerged as the sole survivor. He’s also taken Cena to the limit in a one-on-one match on Raw, a surge indicating The Showoff’s time to seize the prize is likely fast approaching.

But now, he may not get the chance. While Ziggler is reaching his apex, Cena has been operating at his own for some time. As a previous Money in the Bank winner and a two-time World Heavyweight Champion himself, the Cenation leader will find himself in a very familiar, very comfortable position at TLC. Ziggler, on the other hand, is in a precarious one. The Showoff is all momentum at this point, and there’s no Superstar who can take that away faster than Cena. Granted, this is not the same Ziggler who wheeled and dealed his way to a tainted World Title victory in 2011. This is not even the same Ziggler who won the Money in the Bank contract this past July. This is something far tougher than that. Something much closer to the top-tier wrestler he has always claimed to be.

But is it enough? History looms large for both Superstars. One can rewrite it, and one can avoid ending up on the wrong side of it. Only one question now remains: What are they prepared to do?









Well, I guess the predictions were right. Money In The Bank briefcase on the line.

But I don't think Cena is winning. No way he's being drafted to Smackdown.

What are your guys' guesses?

John Cena vs. Dolph Ziggler - Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank contract

Re: TLC ppv make or break for Dolph Ziggler?

I have a horrible feeling that Cena is going to win the briefcase and the World Heavyweight championship. He's been on smackdown a lot lately.

The rock will win the WWE title from CM Punk at the Royal Rumble.

Punk then wrestles Austin at Mania.

Cena VS The Rock II for the unified WWE Title. Maybe!

Re: How can Ziggler win?

Well, the Shield should interfere in that one. It's unfair for Ziggler. It makes more sense. I don't care what happens in the TLC match.
They should and they will, storyline-wise it would make no sense for them not to. ATM, whenever something seems unfair for a heel, expect the Shield to intervene.

Re: Official John Cena vs. Dolph Ziggler Ladder Match Discussion

I can see it now.

Ziggler hits the Ziggy Zagger on Cena off the ladder, or on the ground into a chair ; either way.

Hooks the leg up and 1 2 3, Ziggler wins clean over John Cena , celebrations are had all over this forum.

Until Cena merely stands up, brushes himself off ; walks over to the ref and tells him to restart the match because he's Cena ; the ref agrees.

The bell is rung and Ziggler is quickly dragged into a brutal STF.
Cena gently whispers in his ear, "You didn't think it would be that easy did you?".
Ziggler laughs weakly as he knows he's done for.
"You know for a second there, yeah I did."

Ziggler taps and JAWN SCENA IS THE NEW MITB WINNER/HOLDER/CARRIER.


or just an AA out of nowhere.

Just an idea I had the other day:

If they are willing to play off AJ as this psycho chick who constantly gets herself into problems and becomes a burden on Cena, let's have The Shield interfere, or abduct AJ, leading to Cena chasing after The Shield, then giving Ziggler the win. The "injustice" could be Cena lowering himself to dating a crazy, immature little girl instead of keeping himself at the top of his game and chasing after the WWE/WHC harder.

And then I woke up. So long as Ziggler wins, I'll be happy. If Cena wins, then.. well, I don't know. Sad day.

Punk was meant to win against ryback with the ppv ending with cena cashing in his newly won money in the bank and becoming wwe champion to face rock at royal rumble.

If anyone wants a ticket to tlc today for literally whatever you want to pay me I have 2 extras one in the lower section 8, row 8, seat 9 and the other is a little higher up. Literally whatever you're willing to pay. Email yipps88@me.com

God i hope Ziggler wins, Cena already blew his shot at his Money in the Bank contract this year

Apparently there is a report that says that WWE is considering using the MITB contract for the WWE title.
- We should get confirmation during tonight's RAW on whether or not Dolph Ziggler will put his Money in the Bank briefcase on the line against John Cena at the TLC pay-per-view. The idea has been discussed and apparently officials have no problem with using the SmackDown briefcase on the WWE Title.

My ultimate scenario (yet highly unrealistic), have Cena win the MITB briefcase. Even though, I'm sure WWE wants Rock to take the title off Punk at Royal Rumble so he can have a couple months run as champ, I would love for Punk to retain. Have them do a rematch at Wrestlemania where the Rock wins and then boom, have Cena pull off the heel turn by cashing in the case and beating the Rock. Ain't happening, but one can dream.
