When Dolph Ziggler won Money in the Bank fans were hopeful that his cash in would be successful, and luckily for Dolph it was. Ziggler cashed in on Alberto Del Rio to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship the night after WrestleMania 29 to a big response from the fans in attendance.
However, during an appearance on the Cafe De Rene podcast Alberto Del Rio’s former ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez revealed that Ziggler was originally set to cash in at WrestleMania.
“It was originally supposed to happen at WrestleMania(…) So we were talking about it [match] and Triple H comes in(…) It turns out that Triple H wanted, he comes in and basically says Dolph is gonna cash in after and Alberto is like no. Pretty much like no.”
“It was promised. It was promised that Alberto was going to have a WrestleMania moment. Originally, it was supposed to happen at the first WrestleMania [27]. But because of Edge’s injury, the plans were changed.”
Unfortunately for Dolph Ziggler his title reign only lasted 69 days as he later ended up dropping the title back to Del Rio at the Payback pay-per-view in 2013. Since then Dolph has challenged for a world title a few times, but he has yet to add another world championship win to his resume.
