#3 We might get to see the match somewhere down the line

The ones who were clamoring for a battle of the generations between Shawn Michaels and Dolph Ziggler shouldn't let their hopes down yet. As discussed previously, WWE brought back Golbberg possibly to give him a chance to end things on a high note. Maybe that's the reason why the company isn't giving us Michaels vs Ziggler, and could probably have plans to do the same somewhere down the line.

Once the dust is settled at SummerSlam, maybe Ziggler will resume his rivalry against Michaels and we will finally get a match between the two, let's say, at Survivor Series! We know that Michaels can still hang in the ring, and Ziggler is an exceptional performer. There's no reason why WWE wouldn't want to make it happen. Don't lose your hopes yet, as we just might get the match in the near future.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
