Dolph Ziggler reveals that his WWE career's greatest moment was a last-minute decision
Dolph Ziggler's career was filled with several memorable moments, whether defeating The Authority at WWE Survivor Series 2014 or capturing the Intercontinental Championship from The Miz at WWE No Mercy 2016.
Speaking to PWInsider during a Q&A, Ziggler revealed that his Money in the Bank cash-in against Alberto Del Rio was a last-minute decision made by Vince McMahon. Check it out:
"The Night after Mania 29 cash in was a career highlight and said that the decision was made only a few hours before it happened. He was sitting in gorilla with the briefcase unsolicited for the Cena/Rock main event in case Vince wanted him to cash in and that gave Vince the idea to do it on Raw the next night."

It will be interesting to see if the former United States Champion joins AEW in the coming year.
