Dolph Ziggler offered an explanation for why he appeared on RAW last night, seemingly ignoring his current feud with Bobby Roode over on Smackdown.
The thread started when a fan posted a screencap of all of the Smackdown stars and criticized Ziggler (and Roode) ignoring kayfabe, and Ziggler replied with:
Please go tweet about the undead wrestler that shoots lightning

PWTorch.com’s Wade Keller, who was also tagged in the photo, replied to Ziggler’s comment about Undertaker and said Ziggler and Roode still should have hated each other on TV, because the ‘undead wrestler’ still shoots lightning and keeps up character when he’s on TV. Ziggler and Keller’s following comments are below:
DZ: Smackdown was a unit sending a message. Somehow every week we all wait until we’re in the ring, the music hits and bell rings to fight. Why wouldn’t this apply here? I didn’t high five or even talk to my sd opponent, nor have I been seeking him out backstage to jump him
WK: Honest question. What was msg about? What is YOUR character’s motivation to cooperate w/GM you’ve been complaining about disrespecting u?
DZ: I have nothing against shane. I called out the fans for liking wrestlers that are smoke & mirrors. So, it was fun to bust up a show built on masks, fire, smoke & facepaint & chest protectors. Sorry that YOU didn’t see that.
Keller went into more detail on the ‘Under Siege’ mentality and why brand warfare doesn’t necessary work in a new editorial, which can be read here.
