WWE SummerSlam 2016: 5 Reasons why Dolph Ziggler cannot win the WWE World Title
If you are keeping score at home, advantage Dean Ambrose. After Tuesday night’s tag team match between the current WWE World Champion and Dolph Ziggler in a confrontation with Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan, the Lunatic Fringe had the last laugh on his partner. It’s now a little over one week and counting until SummerSlam, and the two men wrestling for the company’s top prize are about as even as any two performers could be – with one caveat.
Ambrose holds a title Ziggler wants to help resurrect his career. Ziggler is in a precarious situation now that he is the number one contender to unseat the current champ. For everything the former world champion is himself, he is not a long-term solution for Smackdown Live moving forward. I personally love Ziggler as a “heart and soul” type character who should get more than he deserves, but has been a jobber and a mid-card success.
If Ziggler was part of any other promotion, he would be “the guy” hands down. Now, he stands in murky waters waiting to see if he sinks or swims next weekend. It’s almost unfair that Ziggler is placed in this situation, mainly because it is temporary. Had this been two years ago, I’d probably be writing a different piece and Ambrose wouldn’t be holding the company’s top title.
WWE also have indicated plans for having another star enter the World title picture.So, here are five reasons Ziggler cannot and will not win at SummerSlam.
