10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (March 15)
3. WWE Didn't Tell Dolph Ziggler About His MITB Cash In
Dolph Ziggler had held the Money In The Bank briefcase for 267 days by the time WWE decided he should cash it on the night after WrestleMania 29. This was the biggest moment of Dolph's career to date, and you'd be forgiven for thinking his employers took precautions to ensure he was ready to go over Alberto Del Rio as the new World Heavyweight Champion.
You'd be forgiven, but not correct.
Ziggler told the 'Wrestling Inside The Ropes' podcast this week that he wasn't made fully aware of the cash in until his music started playing. He had a hunch, and yet nobody expressly told him it was definitely happening. That's a bizarre thought; WWE went into the 8 April 2013 episode of Raw without a concrete plan.
When Del Rio worked Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter in a handicap match, Ziggler took a seat at the monitor behind the curtain with his case. To him, it was logical that the cash in would happen immediately after that bout if it was going to happen at all.
