7. Dolph Ziggler: No Clothes Barred

Wrestlers grabbing tiny moments of agency on such a heavily-scripted stage is always a treat, so it felt appropriate to give Dolph Ziggler his own up for the look he workshopped on Friday's SmackDown.

Appearing as though he was on a guided tour of the blue brand with a view of directing a movie about it, Ziggler's 1980s aesthetic hadn't ever looked as sharp.

Suit jacket, jeans, garish blue SmackDown On Fox cap and mirrored shades was a sartorial equivalent of a Thanksgiving feast. Realistically, not all of it is really needed at the same time, but why not greedily gobble it all up anyway?
