Dolph Ziggler’s title win gives me hope.

After he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase for the World Heavyweight Championship after Wrestlemania 29, Ziggler suffered a concussion in a failed title defense and found himself stuck in WWE creative hell ever since. Tonight’s title win against a resurgent Miz gave me loads of hope, especially for other favorites of mine like Cesaro.

As far as the match, it was fantastic. Any match Ziggler is in manages to entertain more often than not. This one was no exception.

My only gripe about this match was that Miz somehow popped up unaffected after eating a Fameasser to deliver a Skull Crushing Finale immediately after. The visual chain was awesome, but the lack of logic was just odd.

Still, that’s a minor issue. These two delivered and Ziggler has some gold again. I can’t complain.

The downside right now to a feud featuring Brie is the mic time she receives. Photo credit: WWE.com

Brie Mode should be muted.

Goodness, can we not put her in a front of a live mic by herself? This was just awful.

No, I don’t believe you “reflected” while in jail for (kayfabe) less than 24 hours. No, the assault charges weren’t bogus, you legit slapped a non-wrestler/WWE employee on live TV.

Just stop.
