This was the first time I had seen a double turn in some years. It was executed perfectly. This is where storytelling is so crucial to a match. You don’t see two superstars, who had been fan favorites on both sides of the fence pull off such a move. Del Rio playing off Ziggler's legitimate concussion by repeatedly kicking Ziggler in the head.

The fans could sense a turn and got behind Ziggler. Del Rio performed a Superkick on Ziggler while Ziggler was kneeling, and then pinned Ziggler to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Del Rio drew heat from the crowd in Chicago and become the company’s top heel once more.
