10 Wrestlers Who Got A WrestleMania Singles Match Before Dolph Ziggler
1. Kofi Kingston
"It should have been me" was Dolph Ziggler's relentless drone during the 2019 programme between 'The Show Off' and Kofi Kingston after the latter won the WWE Championship in an emotional and evocative match against Daniel Bryan.
The win was a multi-layered celebration of a history-making moment that played upon a number of the endless mountains Kingston had been forced to climb to reach a single summit. Included amongst them was the systemic failure to elevate midcarders for the better part of a decade. For several years, Kingston and Ziggler were held up as the biggest examples of the broken machine.
They worked and worked and worked (often against each other...really often against each other) whilst others took spots on major shows as per the whims of Vince McMahon. It should have been them, and eventually it finally was Kofi, but Ziggler barely ever made it into the conversation when the Road To WrestleMania beckoned.
