I feel like we've been teased with Dolph Ziggler main event pushes so many times over the years that any threat should be ignored. It's almost like that girl you really like in school, who every now and then gives you the impression she's interested. She's not of course, but there is just enough to make you believe that, you know, this time is different.

Well, WWE are doing all they can to convince me that this time is indeed different when it comes to Dolph Ziggler. After winning the #1 Contender Six-Pack Challenge last week, Ziggler gave his strongest microphone performance in years with Dean Ambrose. The segment ended with Ziggler meeting Sister Abigail's Kiss, and Ziggler fans around the world went, "oh, right, Wyatt will replace him then."

The Eater of Worlds and the Show-Off met in the main event, and a motivated Ziggler pulled out the win with the Superkick. I'm a big fan of both men so am probably ranking this a little high, but I'd love to see more Ziggler vs. Wyatt further down the line. Another great WWE TV main event this week.

Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
