Page 4 - WWE SmackDown: 2 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – Huge betrayal ends a long-running feud, Roman Reigns stunned by top babyface (Nov 13th, 2020)

#1 Flopped on WWE SmackDown: Dolph Ziggler

This week on WWE SmackDown, we saw Dolph Ziggler engage in a match with Otis. Both Ziggler and Robert Roode were making fun of Otis' relationship with Mandy Rose and how he was betrayed by his best friend and tag team partner, Tucker. This led to a match being booked between the two Superstars.

Inside the squared circle, Otis looked extremely dominant as he spent most of the time toying with Ziggler. The latter struggled hard to gain control over the match, but he couldn't bring himself to get the better of his opponent. Even when Robert Roode tried to help his partner, he was easily scared away by Otis who then went on to pick a clean victory over Dolph Ziggler on WWE SmackDown.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

Understandably, the creative wanted to use Ziggler in order to put Otis over once again. But the manner in which it was done made Ziggler look extremely weak inside the ring. It is certainly a mistake that WWE should avoid, especially if you take a look at the tag team division. We hope that both Ziggler and Roode and will be booked strongly on WWE SmackDown following this match and hopefully, it will allow them to emerge as top heels in the division once again.
