10 WWE Booking Steps To Daniel Bryan vs Dolph Ziggler At SummerSlam

9. Ziggler Snaps

At a pay-per-view - potentially Payback - Dolph Ziggler loses the opening match of the night against one of the newer guys on the roster, and looks visibly angered as his losing streak tally has long since entered double digits. Walking up the ramp, the camera shows him fuming and he starts lashing out at fans by tearing up various signs (particularly Daniel Bryan or YES signs) and kicking the barriers. Later on, Daniel Bryan is in a David vs Goliath battle against #1 contender Luke Harper. After a hard-fought battle, Bryan emerges victorious by knocking Harper down with the running knee that has won him so many matches before. As he celebrates in the middle of the ring, with 20,000 people in the arena chanting 'YES!' in unison, Ziggler runs out from within the crowd and savagely attacks Bryan. He first hits the Zig Zag from behind on an unsuspecting champion, before then laying down the Intercontinental Championship on the floor and giving Bryan the Fameasser on top of it. Ziggler can then proceed to run Bryan into the ring post and the steel steps, before then targeting his surgically-repaired neck as he chokes Bryan out with a steel-chair guillotine. As he departs, he spits on his unconscious foe, and makes sure that the entire WWE Universe has heard him loud and clear in a good old 'Attitude Era'-style beating.
