For years, Dolph Ziggler has lacked something that makes him look like a serious threat. Who would have thought it would be a tag team partner like Drew McIntyre?

Since returning to Raw, the duo has run roughshod, defeating opponents and beating them pretty convincingly. Monday was no exception, with Heath Slater and Rhyno getting trounced in short order. There was a nice moment when Slater looked at McIntyre and yelled, “Welcome back, baby!” while fans chanted, “3MB!”

However, the Scot was unimpressed and unfazed, attacking Heath and eventually setting up the Claymore/ZigZag finisher, which looks pretty damn devastating. The duo has been all business since returning, and that is carrying them well so far. Let’s see if that continues in the weeks go to come.
