After Ziggler's unexpected barrage against Kofi Kingston, it was assumed that we would hear an explanation behind his actions next week.

However, WWE pulled off a great tactic by breaking off from this format as Ziggler explained everything on the same night. Fans weren't having it in the beginning. But Dolph Ziggler literally transformed this promo into something else entirely.

Ziggler's ability to separate his real and reel life, and to add a whole new dimension to the Dolph Ziggler character is a great example of how wrestling characters should work in the first place.

It is quite obvious that a lot has changed since Ziggler was off WWE's weekly programming schedule, and what seems amazing to me is that we already have a layered story in place because of those months where Kofi rose to the top and Ziggler could do nothing but feel jealous.

We are off to a promising start, folks...
