5 WWE finishes that Vince McMahon altered at the last minute

#3 Dolph Ziggler vs. Alberto Del Rio (WWE RAW)

Arguably the most memorable moment of Dolph Ziggler’s WWE career came in April 2013 when he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Alberto Del Rio on RAW.

Del Rio had just defeated Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter in a 2-on-1 handicap match, one night after retaining his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Swagger at WrestleMania 29.

WWE’s decision-makers originally planned for “The Showoff” to attack Del Rio with the Money in the Bank briefcase on RAW before picking up a quick 1-2-3 victory, but Ziggler revealed to talkSPORT’s Alex McCarthy in 2019 that he came up with a different idea.

“I said, ‘That’s not what Dolph Ziggler would do. Dolph Ziggler would almost lose that cash-in a couple of times.’ And we made it special because Del Rio is a real pro, him and I had some awesome matches and he was fun to work with, but he knew it too and he said, ‘They’re all going to buy you losing.’”

Vince McMahon agreed to the change of finish and Ziggler ended up receiving one of the loudest WWE crowd reactions of 2013 when he finally pinned Del Rio to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
