10 Best WWE Money In The Bank PPV Matches (That Aren't MITB)
9. Dolph Ziggler Vs. Alberto Del Rio - Money In The Bank 2013
The other World Title match from Money in the Bank 2013 slightly outweighs Cena/Henry due to Del Rio/Ziggler’s electrifying chemistry.
Despite Del Rio's limitations as a main event talent, his feud with Ziggler that year capitalised on his potential and made him look like an ideal heel champion. Their match at Payback where Del Rio ruthlessly targeted Ziggler's head after his concussion was an excellent World Heavyweight Title match. While this is not as good as that, it continues on the same threads, Ziggler's impeccable selling of his head eliciting sympathy from the crowd as he keeps forcing himself back up.
His recent heel run can overwhelm how good a babyface Dolph Ziggler was, but when he cares, he’s one of the greatest. His performance in the Team Cena/Team Authority match and his work here positions him as a natural underdog, doing everything he can to continue fighting. Ziggler's positioned on more even ground to Del Rio than he was at Payback, able to learn from his mistakes. Del Rio alternates occasionally from the head offence, with a particularly notable German Suplex counter.
A DQ finish caused by AJ Lee hitting Del Rio with her Divas Title is fitting but disappointing, especially since Dolph hasn't won the World Title since. Great match nonetheless.
