2. Dolph Ziggler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKqtFqpRLEk WrestleMania XXIX match: Lost Tag Team title match with Big E to Team Hell No Past year PPV highlights: Lost World Heavyweight title to Alberto Del Rio at Payback; Lost WHC match at Money in the Bank; Lost U.S. Championship match at Night of Champions One errant kick has derailed what started out to be a breakout year. Flash back to the night after WrestleMania 29, when Ziggler cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and won the World Heavyweight title, getting one of the loudest pops you will ever hear (WWE.com even acknowledged it as one of the top crowd reactions of all time). Then came the kick from Jack Swagger, giving Dolph a concussion severe enough that he didn't wrestle for more than a month. When he finally did, he lost his title, and the losing kept going. He has been shunted way down the card, all the way to a battle royal entrant. Can he be relevant again? Easily. But when that happens, just keep him away from Swagger, okay?
