10 Most Underrated WWE Feuds Of The 2010s

10. Chris Jericho Vs. Dolph Ziggler (2012-2013)

The early 2010s were undisputedly the highlight of Dolph Ziggler's career.

He was a two-time World Heavyweight Champion, had multiple, tenured runs as both the United States and Intercontinental Champion, a Money in the Bank win that resulted in one of the stipulation's most euphoric cash-ins, and, rather surprisingly, was deemed 2014's Wrestler of the Year by pop culture magazine, Rolling Stone. It's a time period where he genuinely was 'The Showoff'.

His rivalry opposite Chris Jericho helped Ziggler massively.

Centred around Ziggler claiming Jericho had lost his touch (even though 'Y2J' had just come off the back of a cracking rivalry vs. CM Punk), the pair had some effortless promo exchanges together, alongside some decent in-ring work. Their SummerSlam 2012 outing was an excellent choice to kick off the main pay-per-view card, while Dolph sending the future 'Le Champion' packing on the following night's Raw gave him some much needed credibility during a time where he needed it the most.

Of course, this should have been the end of their rivalry. There wasn't a single need for that befuddling Strange Bedfellows match the following January against Team Hell No once Jericho had returned, but we'd be remiss to not acknowledge the pop the now-Inner Circle man received as the number two Royal Rumble 2013 entrant the night before.
