With his final selection, Shane McMahon will select someone who's seen a lot of ups and downs over the past several years - Dolph Ziggler. Dolph will come out onto the stage and step to the podium to speak, but Shane won't allow it.

Shane will respectfully - but forcefully - pull the microphone over to his own face and dress "The Showoff" down, telling him that he has as much talent as anyone on the roster, but he hasn't been using it properly. Shane will go on to say that he didn't use his last pick on the Dolph Ziggler of today, he used it on the Dolph who cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase on Alberto Del Rio to become World Heavyweight Champion.

Dolph will simply nod and head backstage - then, on the first Raw of the new split, he'll turn heel by drilling Shane with the Zig Zag. After that, Dolph will leap up the pecking order, becoming relevant once again as a top heel on the Raw brand. Men like Dean Ambrose and Cesaro will be great opponents for the new (old) Dolph Ziggler, helping put the exclamation point on his career boost.
