WWE Crown Jewel 2018: Analysing and grading each match

Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler

A last

chance for a final spot

Match: Much like the earlier Tag Team Championship Match, this is obviously a match we're incredibly familiar with - but that doesn't mean it can't be great.

Ziggler was in control early on, wearing down the Intercontinental Champion before being hit with a Crossbody. Rollins bashed the Show-Off all over the place, barrier to barrier, before the fight goes back into the ring and Ziggler takes over, and gets Seth Rollins in a headlock, only for Rollins to reverse it - but Rollins attempt to run into Ziggler sees him run into the turnbuckle.

The pair exchanged strikes in the ring with Ziggler seemingly emerging the stronger, going for a DDT but getting caught before the pair hit near fall after near fall. Rollins went for a buckle bomb, but Ziggler got another near fall. Rollins got another near fall before Rollins hit a Suicide Dive. A Famouser got another for DZ.

This match is on a knife-edge before Rollins hits the Superplex and very nearly the Falcon Arrow, but Ziggler would hit the Zig-Zag for another two count! Rollins downed Ziggler and went up top, Ziggler followed but took a fall before Drew McIntyre pushed Rollins off the turnbuckle, allowing Ziggler to hit a Superkick for the win!

Verdict: The match of the night! By a country mile. These guys can put on great matches even when both are pulling double duty. If you missed this, go back and watch it. Incredibly exciting contest.

Grade: A
