5 least expected things after the WWE brand split

#2 Ziggler in the main event

Too much! Too early!!

I completely accept that Dolph Ziggler is a very talented wrestler and he certainly is a main-event entity on any given day, but how about the same happening just in the immediate PPV after the brand split? Yeah! With no prior storyline at all!

We expected Ziggler to do a lot better after the brand split but such an immediate knee-jerk kind of a storyline build up was just not expected. Guess what! He was taken out of the main event equation so quickly and all of a sudden he was busy with The Miz.

Winning the Intercontinental title at WWE No Mercy has boosted Dolph Ziggler’s stature in the WWE by quite a bit. After weeks of speculation about his future, Dolph’s win is a statement by the WWE that he’s here to stay, and how! Who could have foreseen this at the Brand Split?
