Vince McMahon has made some tough decisions that were somewhat out of his control

#3. Dolph Ziggler - 2013

In 2013, it was evident that Alberto Del Rio's face turn wasn't working. He was simply too artificial and unlikeable as a character to establish himself as a face. While we've seen the greatest heels have face runs, there needs to be an underlying story arc that propels them and helps them turn organically.

We've seen many great RAW after WrestleMania moments, but one that stands out is the RAW after WrestleMania 29 in 2013, where Dolph Ziggler finally cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase.

The victim was Alberto Del Rio and despite being the face, the reaction when Ziggler's music hit made him the biggest babyface on the night. The pop when he won was unforgettable as well, but his reign was affected due to a legitimate concussion that put him out of action for a while.

He had to skip the first PPV post-WrestleMania (Extreme Rules) and at Payback, Vince McMahon was forced to remove the title from him due to uncertainty over his health. They utilized the concussion incident and made it a real-life angle in their title match, with Ziggler and Del Rio having a double turn before The Showoff dropped the title back to him.
