5 possible reasons why Seth Rollins lost the Intercontinental Title to Dolph Ziggler

#4 To do right by Dolph Ziggler

This was the most underwhelming title reign for Dolph Ziggler

It's a known fact the Ziggler has been involved in some questionable booking decisions in the past. One such booking decision that comes to mind is his run just before and after becoming the US Champion.

Before becoming the US Champion, Ziggler was involved in a dead end feud with Apollo Crews and Kalisto and also failed to seal a spot on SmackDown's Survivor Series team to Bobby Roode.

Finally, when Ziggler beat Baron Corbin and Bobby Roode in a triple threat match at Clash of Champions to become the US Champion, the WWE Universe was excited and thought that WWE had given Ziggler his due. Surprisingly, on the following episode of SmackDown, Ziggler left the US Title in the middle of the ring and vanished.

The Show-Off returned as the No. 30 entrant in the 2018 Royal Rumble but failed to win it. He was also given a chance to win the WWE Title at Fastlane in a fatal five-way match, in which he failed yet again.

After he was unsuccessful in winning the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34, Ziggler was drafted to RAW and teamed up with Drew McIntyre.

This seemed like another decision going down the drain until he won the IC Title this week. Maybe this is the way of WWE apologizing to Ziggler and making it up to him. Whatever the reason may be, it is good to see Ziggler as a champion and in a relevant role after a long time.
