For a long time now, WWE has used Dolph Ziggler to put over young guns and other major Superstars on TV and pay-per-views. Ziggler has lost his last five pay-per-view matches, with four of those coming in 2020. At Super ShowDown 2020, Ziggler was fed to Mansoor in a singles match. At Elimination Chamber 2020, Ziggler teamed up with Robert Roode in the Elimination Chamber match for the SmackDown tag team titles. John Morrison and The Miz managed to retain their titles in the end.
At WrestleMania, the heated feud between Ziggler and Otis finally came to an end, when Mandy Rose helped the latter to score a victory over Ziggler. The story came to a fitting end, as Mandy Rose got together with Otis to the utter delight of the WWE Universe. Next, Ziggler faced Drew McIntyre at Extreme Rules. This time around, he got a chance to win the WWE Championship from his former tag team partner. Unfortunately, Ziggler's luck remained the same and he lost this match as well. Dolph Ziggler hasn't wrestled on a pay-per-view ever since then. It seems like he will finish off 2020 with zero pay-per-view wins in his bag.
Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. 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.
