A look at the result from the WWE SummerSlam match on Sunday between Rusev and Dolph Ziggler
WWE SummerSlam is off and rolling on Sunday night, and the third match of the night that we were treated to was the battle between Rusev and Dolph Ziggler. This is one of the more intriguing stories that has been taking place over the course of the past few weeks, so some were looking forward to this.
Ziggler was out first in this one and she was definitely dressed the part of being Ziggler’s on-screen girlfriend, that’s for sure.

Well, that’s an interesting change.
Next out was Rusev with Summer Rae and we were off and running in this one.
After Ziggler came out in the early going with the quick offense, Rusev took control with the power and worked over Dolph for a bit.
Eventually, though, Ziggler would be able to get some of the momentum back in this one.

But that wouldn’t last all that long, and we even got to see some crazy athleticism from Rusev.

As you would expect, as well, we got our obligatory Lana vs Summer altercation.
When it came to the finish, though, fans were left less than pleased. The official result of the match was a double count out.
After the match, they weren’t finished, as we got treated to quite the brawl.

Rusev and Summer would retreat to the back.
