10 Wrestlers Who Got A WrestleMania Singles Match Before Dolph Ziggler
5. Erick Rowan
Erick Rowan was growing into a serviceable star as part of a team with Daniel Bryan in 2019 before a split and singles run sidelined him with a f*cking robot spider.
The big mechanical beast might have been just stupid enough to get him on the 'Show Of Shows' card had it not been murdered by top babyface Drew McIntyre, but it wouldn't have been any dafter than that time he broke a WrestleMania record with The Rock.
A spot too good to turn down but too difficult to make an immediate comeback from, Rowan's 0:06 loss to 'The Great One' at WrestleMania was six seconds longer than company workhorse Ziggler had managed in the same setting.
In the bit, Rowan a lamb-mask to the slaughter after The Rock had bantered The Wyatt Family into oblivion with his usual quips. Hindsight's a wonderful thing, but so too is the visual of Ziggler trying to bounce to the top of the AT&T Stadium following that Rock Bottom. It was but another missed "opportunity".
