10 Exact Moments Wrestlers Realised They Were In Trouble

10. Dolph Ziggler Thought It Was Over When DX Stuffed Him In A Box (WWE Raw, 2006)

It's hard to imagine WWE programming without the ever-present bumping machine that is Dolph Ziggler at this point, with the former World Heavyweight Champion sitting as part of the company for nearly 20-years.

But back in 2006, there was actually a moment in time when it looked as though Ziggles may have wrestled his last match as part of the Sports Entertainment giant.

About a year on from his arrival as part of the relentless pains in the ass that were the Spirit Squad, Ziggler and the rest of his cheerleading pals were stuffed into a crate on the November 27 edition of Raw and sent back down to OVW with a sticker saying as much.

And it was right there and then that Dolph assumed that he was legitimately done with Vince McMahon's company, confessing as much on Twitter down the road, telling his followers:

"...when dx stuffed us in a box & we were taken off tv, I assumed I was fired"

This was far from the end of the Show-Off's WWE story, however, and Ziggler would ultimately pop back up on Raw in 2008 sporting those unmistakable bleach blonde locks and a cocky attitude that would set the stage for one of the longest WWE runs of the modern era.
