Yes, it was small and short, but Dolph Ziggler finally gave a reason as to why he’s been tormenting Theory the past several weeks.

Ziggler said that Theory “needs to be taught a lesson” because he hasn’t earned what he’s gotten so far, which is probably true when you consider how he had relied on Mr. McMahon to this point in his Raw career. A veteran knocking a brash kid down a few pegs is a simple enough story to buy.

While no one expects this budding rivalry to set the world on fire, it at least is grounded in something explainable and even relatable.
