15 Wrestling Matches You Won't Believe Happened In 2018
5. Dolph Ziggler Vs Shane McMahon (WWE Crown Jewel)
Sillier now than it was at the time, Shane McMahon's sweaty save of the Crown Jewel World Cup for SmackDown Live! seemed certain to turn him heel for some sort of high profile programme...until Nia Jax broke Becky Lynch's face.
The injury to the 'Irish Lass Kicker' expedited the need to turn Daniel Bryan heel, which in turn appeared to hijack a potential clash between the former and current blue brand authority figure. 'Shane-O-Mac's subsequent playing the c*nt act was resultantly binned off within weeks, condemning the trophy to the McMahon cabinet and Shane's heel turn back to the drawing board as he scuffles with the man he replaced in Saudi Arabia.
To watch live, it was simply more absurdity on a show overspilling with it, but in isolation it was even more ridiculous. Heel Miz injured himself against heel Dolph Ziggler, forcing babyface Shane to play a bully hero (!) against a man that had already wrestled twice that night. And squash him like the grapes that contribute to the fine wine quaffed around the McMahon dinner tables.
It didn't matter on the night of course, and barely even existed the following week. There went 'The Money'.
