Remember when Dolph Ziggler cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase the night after WrestleMania XXIX and defeated Alberto Del Rio. Remember the thunderous ovation from the crowd?

That was just a scant three years ago, but now Dolph is poised to be a stepping stone for newcomer Baron Corbin. The Lone Wolf debuted at WrestleMania this year and won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and it looks like WWE is trying to make that mean something this time around. Corbin immediately targeted Ziggler the night after Mania, and the two have been feuding since.

Dolph finally got one up on Baron on Raw last week, but is that just a last gasp before Corbin steps on his head on his way up the ladder?
