Backstage News On Dolph Ziggler’s Return To WWE Raw

You never know who might show up on WWE Raw and this week former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler returned. Ziggler made his way down to the ringside area for the main event which saw Seth Rollins & Theory face off against the team of Riddle & Bobby Lashley.

At one point Theory put his legs on the ropes to try and get extra leverage as he pinned Riddle, but Ziggler interfered and pushed his legs off. Riddle was then able to pick up the win with the RKO. After the match Dolph Ziggler hit Theory with a superkick to end the show.

On a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about Ziggler’s return to the red brand and he said that the idea is to put Theory with a veteran who he can benefit from working with.

“Ziggler and Theory are gonna feud, with the idea that Theory can benefit from a 20-year veteran type of guy, a very good worker. So Ziggler’s a babyface, they just did it at the house shows. They just want him running around with Theory at shows every night for a couple of nights a week every week for a while because they’re bound and determined to make Theory into something, and (Ziggler) is a good guy to bring back for that. I think they have the mentality that whatever they’re gonna do with Theory down the line allows them to beat him all the time right now.”

Are you looking forward to seeing where the Theory vs. Ziggler feud goes from here? Sound off in the comments below.
