Speaking to talkSPORT during WWE’s tour of the United Kingdom, the two-time World Champion revealed that he was originally booked to simply hit Del Rio with the briefcase before getting a 1-2-3 pinfall victory.
However, he gave his opinion that the Ziggler character would not be able to win in such easy fashion, and WWE’s decision-makers agreed to change the finish, which saw him almost fail before eventually hitting Del Rio with a Zig Zag to win the title.
Dolph Ziggler’s current WWE status
Dolph Ziggler was assigned to the SmackDown brand with tag team partner Robert Roode in the 2019 WWE draft.
The former RAW Tag Team Champions won their first match on Friday nights against Big E and Kofi Kingston in October, while they ended last week’s episode by helping Baron Corbin defeat Roman Reigns in the main event.
