WWE Elimination Chamber 2017: 10 Things That Must Happen
8. Dolph Ziggler Gets Some Comeuppance
Ironically, the recent heel transgressions of Dolph Ziggler have resulted in him getting cheered on SmackDown episodes. This is down to a clear lack of interest in either Kalisto or Apollo Crews, both of whom happen to be Ziggler's opponents at Elimination Chamber.
Should WWE be interested in safe-guarding the likes of Kalisto and Crews, they cannot be beaten by one man; it doesn't say a lot for either babyface if they fail to join forces and fend off someone who has been cast as a nearly man by the same creative team in the very recent past.
Elimination Chamber is the time to have babyfaces fight back and show some spirit. The alternative is a clean Ziggler victory - but it's hard to see where the story goes next if that happens.
Crews (in particular) is in no man's land on the SmackDown roster, meaning a loss in this handicap match could feasibly send him spiralling back towards NXT. Again, if Apollo and Kalisto can't defeat one wrestler two-on-one, what separates them from jobbers?
Kalisto and Crews must win this Sunday. Their viability on the main roster depends on it.
