Dolph Ziggler Says He Is Ready for WWE SummerSlam, Talks Title Match, Wishes Dean Ambrose Luck Because He “Won’t Need It” (Video)

July 26, 2016

WWE has released the Smackdown Fallout video below, featuring Dolph Ziggler commenting on becoming the #1 contender to Dean Ambrose’s WWE Title on Smackdown tonight.

Ziggler will face Ambrose for the WWE Title at SummerSlam, and he had the following to say on the match:

“I’m so excited, I can’t believe it. My parents don’t believe it. The fans, the WWE Universe, they didn’t see it coming. Do you know why they didn’t see it coming? For the last two years I haven’t been myself. I haven’t been my happy self looking to steal the show. I don’t even do that anymore. Tonight, I sent a message. Smackdown live, the very first one, we go to SummerSlam. Tonight, I walk out. Ok John Cena, AJ Styles, Bray Wyatt, the new kids who have been making a name for themselves, all of them in the same ring at the same time and somehow I won.”

Ziggler goes on to wish Dean Ambrose luck and adds “I’m not going to need it”:
