Dolph Ziggler made a surprise return to WWE Raw Monday night, and he actually captured people's attention and interest.

The Show-Off has struggled in recent years to be much more than a "good hand" as part of the Dirty Dawgs tag team. Even a short run as NXT Champion had an air of "whatever" about it.

But Monday, Ziggler walked out mid-match during the main event, which pitted Seth Rollins and Theory against Riddle and Bobby Lashley. The dressed-up Dolph took a seat at ringside and watched the match, leaving fans to speculate on why he was there -- perhaps to challenge Lashley for his United States Championship, or maybe to offer his mentoring services to Theory as a fellow former Money in the Bank winner.

In the end, Ziggler made his presence felt when he shoved Theory's feet off the ropes as the brash youngster went for a rollup on Riddle. The distraction allowed the Original Bro to nail an RKO for the win.

Afterwards, Dolph slid into the ring and delivered a superkick to Theory, leaving the MITB briefcase holder laid out.

The questions now will flow as to what Ziggler is up to.
