Baron Corbin vs. Dolph Ziggler:
Trending
Result: Baron Corbin hits Ziggler with End of Days for the pinfall victory.
Grade: 8.5/10
This was Corbin and Ziggler’s best match to date, with a stellar encounter keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Close near-falls, a hot crowd and a much-improved Corbin made this a great match, even with a lack of high stakes.
Corbin picking up the clean win here was wise, as he continues to move up the card with improved performances and big wins. Where he goes from here is unclear, but hopefully WWE finds a solid rivalry for the ‘Lone Wolf’.
Ziggler finally turning heel after the match was awesome, and was the perfect way to capitalise on another failure from ‘the Showoff’. His character can now reset, as he looks set to take on Kalisto and/or Apollo Crews. Hopefully, this can be a career revival of sorts for Ziggler, who was always much better as a heel.
Overall, a splendid match with a great finish, as Corbin picked up a big win while Ziggler finally embraced the dark side. Check out the match and Ziggler’s heel turn here:
