7. How The Mighty Have Fallen
Last year at Survivor Series, Dolph Ziggler had one of the best performances at the PPV, eliminating three men consecutively to overcome immense odds and send the Authority packing. This year? Ziggler lost cleanly to the newest member of the roster, Tyler Breeze. Thats not to say that it wasnt the right move to have Breeze win his first PPV match. This is more a commentary on how far Dolph has fallen off in one year. After he toppled Luke Harper, Kane and Seth Rollins in the main event of Survivor Series 2014, it looked like WWE finally was going to get behind Ziggler as a serious star with the company. Obviously, that didnt happen. Sunday, Dolph served as the entry-level feud for Breeze, which resulted in a pretty good match, but that doesnt mean that we cant lament Zigglers fall.
