#1 Dolph Ziggler
Trending
It is hard to argue that there is a better in-ring performer in WWE than Dolph Ziggler, which has been the case for years upon years. Even during Daniel Bryan’s tenure where everyone classified him to be at the top of the game, his match against Ziggler at Bragging Rights 2010 was perhaps the best he would have.
Anytime WWE gives him the ball, he runs with it, and he pulls that off even when he’s not technically supposed to as well, such as when he and The Miz were overlooked for the main event of Backlash 2016.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
There’s a chip on his shoulder and with Angle back in WWE, it has to be gnawing away at Ziggler to want to step in the ring with him to prove his mettle against the medalist.
Ziggler is one of the most trustworthy wrestlers not just to get the job done, but to do it safely on top of that, which is something WWE might be concerned about when it comes to Angle’s health.
Given the opportunity to wrestle an Extreme Rules brawl of some sort or an incredibly dangerous suplex-ridden match against Brock Lesnar, Angle could be at great risk, but in a straight-up contest with Ziggler, the threat is negligible. Just as a match with Angle could motivate Cesaro to become a true main event talent, this could be the cure needed to solve Ziggler’s insecurities.
Instead of feeling like he has to go out there to prove he’s the best, following this match, the WWE Universe would simply acknowledge it.
Likewise, there’s no better person to ensure Kurt Angle looks good than the guy who is amazing at selling every opponent’s attack as if it could nearly kill him. Ziggler wants to go down in history as one of the greatest, but he doesn’t wrestle like someone who is concerned about not looking weak in his matches.
He understands the importance of putting over his opponent so any potential victory means significantly more, so Angle would be in no peril to lose credibility in a match against him.
In a world where Daniel Bryan is no longer on the table to choose, it would be absolutely criminal, if Kurt Angle were to be cleared to compete in WWE and a match with Dolph Ziggler never happened.
