STEP UP: Dolph Ziggler

Stars in ProgressSometimes being “buried” (shut up, internet) is actually a good thing. Like right now, as Dolph Ziggler gets destroyed by members of The Authority on RAW and Smackdown. Apparently it’s some kind of punishment for being pro-Cena, which is actually kind of hilarious, if you think about it. A lot of Ziggler fans would rather not see those two within a square mile of each other. 

But if buying “buried” by The Authority leads to Dolph still being the Intercontinental Champion, and being part of the main event of Survivor Series, then take out that shovel and dig, Hunter. 

Side note: given his past, it might be more characteristic of Ziggler to actually turn on Cena and join the Authority. Seeing the success of Rollins could influence his decision to “buy in”. I mean, look at his career so far. Wouldn’t you?
