WWE Stomping Grounds 2019: Ranking the build up for each match

#4 Steel Cage match for the WWE Championship - Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler tries to capture the WWE Championship in a cage.

While the tag team match featuring Big E and Woods might have had a build going back to March, this one has two big differences. The first one that amps it up is that it is a title match. Despite Ziggler already challenging and failing in his bid to become WWE Champion again, any match for a title immediately has higher stakes than a normal match.

The other layer that brings this ahead of some of the other matches is that it isn't a normal match but has Steel Cage stipulations added to it. Those types of matches are meant to be used to make feuds seem more personal and riskier due to the nature of the match.

How many times during that type of match are wrestlers thrown into the steel or how often are their faces rubbed against it? The commentators always make it seem extra brutal every time a match like this takes place.

This match doesn't rank any higher because none of the rhetoric changed during the promos. Ziggler still did his best Batista impression by continually spewing the 'It should have been me!' line.

It's nothing new and although it makes Ziggler seem like he's at a breaking point, it hasn't added anything to improve the feud like a Steel Cage has.
