#1 Worst: The motivation for Ziggler's return

The payoff for Ziggler's return was quite underwhelming
Dolph Ziggler walked out on the WWE Universe, seven weeks ago. He returned during the Royal Rumble in an underwhelming manner, and again, came back without fanfare this week. Of course, WWE tried to tell the story of how main-eventing WrestleMania meant a lot to him. Somehow, it was difficult to buy into his comeback story!
It was also strange to see him playing to the crowd, following his big win. Didn't he say that they were all about the fancy entrances and not his in-ring work per se? This was a weak payoff to what could have been a better storyline. Not good writing!
