7 Reasons Why Dolph Ziggler Should Be "Traded" To NXT

7. Because Rusev Should Be Paired With Both Lana And Summer Rae

In an ideal world, the best solution for the issues plaguing the chemistry-lacking pairing of Lana and Dolph Ziggler is actually to have Lana end up turning on Ziggler and returning to Rusev's side. A babyface tease with Lana has proven that down the line, with a better reason for turning, that's she's a potential star. However, it might be a good time to let Lana get some more steam behind her character by remaining heel and letting the crowd heat for her grow. The reason for Lana turning on Ziggler could add to reasons why Dolph would want to leave the main roster. Imagine Dolph being unable to defeat Rusev, and Lana begins to believe that her mate just isn't the man that Rusev was. However, instead of dating him again, she decides to be his "business manager." Upon being turned on, Ziggler heads into a deep depression which would be the creative reason for him wanting to leave the roster. Rusev's a main event heel in development. The idea of him having two attractive women as a part of his act would possibly give him the ability to be the bigger drawing card that he demands to be. One of them being his storyline ex-girlfriend who willfully returns by his side, but not in a dating capacity, tugs at all of the heartstrings.
