Shane as WWE Champion is an actual possibility now

#4. Dolph Ziggler

Ziggler made a surprising return to SmackDown Live on the road to Super ShowDown and attacked WWE Champion Kofi Kingston. Reportedly, WWE made the decision to push Ziggler because of Kevin Owens not wanting to go to Saudi Arabia. Kingston defeated Ziggler at Super ShowDownw with some help from Xavier Woods, but the match wasn't memorable in the least.

Now, Ziggler is getting another shot at the title at Stomping Grounds. The two Superstars have battled innumerable times in the past, and pitting them in back to back championship matches isn't helping ratings one bit.

Despite being possibly the most agile and athletic Superstar on the roster, Ziggler has lost his past aura which once made fans care about him, back in late 2014. Additionally, there was no way the fans would get behind this feud when WWE just let Ziggler return out of the blue, and put him in the WWE Title picture.

There are several Superstars on the blue show who could take Ziggler's spot and give us a bunch of fresh rivalries instead of WWE rehashing old ones and forcing pushes like this on the WWE Universe.

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.
