5 Ups And 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Nov 19)

4. Dolph Ziggler Dominates Tyler Breeze

Tyler Breeze is clearly someone WWE have high hopes for. Thus far, he's been winning matches and the announcers have been putting him over in a big way. This is a far cry from previous scenarios, where Michael Cole and his pals behind the announce desk have been instructed to almost belittle talent instead of talking them up. Undoubtedly, the way Rich Brennan, Booker T and Jerry Lawler hyped Breeze up is the preferable option. Throughout all the hype over his recent arrival on the main roster, it was important that the writers didn't forget who Breeze is feuding with. As aforementioned during a previous entry, overthinking things would be a mistake on WWE's part, because they really don't need to. The most effective use of Dolph Ziggler on Smackdown was to have him attack Tyler Breeze and lay him out after his match. That's exactly what happened, and it felt natural. Ziggler should be wanting to ambush Breeze, because 'Prince Pretty' has done the exact same thing to him before. Breeze was made to look strong by squashing Zack Ryder, so the babyface side had to get some sort of receipt in there. Given that Tyler faces Dolph at Survivor Series, this was entirely logical.
