30 WWE Images That Defined 2016
6. Dolph Ziggler Saves His Own Career
Dolph Ziggler celebrates with the Intercontinental Championship, having not only defeated The Miz for the title, but saved his own WWE career in the process.
Heading into 2016, The Miz and Dolph Ziggler seemed like rapidly stagnating members of the WWE roster. However, both forged an incredibly compelling feud against one another in the latter stages of the year - a rivalry which culminated at No Mercy.
Miz pitted his Intercontinental Championship against Ziggler's WWE career, and many speculated that this could well be Dolph's final bow. Instead, the Show Off dug deep (and batted away interference from Maryse, Kenny and Mikey) to pull off one of the most memorable victories of his career.
