12 HUGE WWE Royal Rumble 2018 Predictions You Need To Know
8. Showing Off
WWE have exhibited rare patience with the ongoing absence of Dolph Ziggler from every aspect of their multi-platformed product.
Not only has the 'Show Off' remained M.I.A from SmackDown Live! since abandoning his newly-won United States Championship and exiting in a huff, he also failed to bother with Raw 25 and WWE Network commitments that plague most of the rank-and-file on the roster.
Typical of a career as daft as Dolph's, his disappearance has rendered him the most over he's been since cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase in 2013. Should he return now, first to take out paper US Champion Bobby Roode and then the remainder of the field en route to his strongest Rumble finish yet, Ziggler may move a step closer to his real WrestleMania dream - even if a fictional one is out of the question. He's made no secret of his desperation for one singles match, and whilst a top title scrap looks out of reach, the Royal Rumble would be the perfect place to initiate something of significance for the battle-worn star.
