WWE No Mercy 2016: 8 Things That Must Happen
2. The Result Of The Intercontinental Championship Match Should Be Backed Fully
Let me preface this by saying that I am a Dolph Ziggler fan; I think he's fantastic in the ring (and sometimes on the microphone), and has had one of those careers limited by silly booking decisions.
With that said, I don't mind which way this match goes. If Dolph loses, he's out of the company - but maybe going out with a bang is the best Ziggler can hope for at this stage. WWE have made it clear that they don't see him residing above the glass ceiling, and his statements over the past few years have sometimes indicated that he isn't entirely happy with life as a wrestler either (not to take away from the full commitment he always shows in the ring).
If Miz wins, he looks even more the heartless heel, while if Ziggler wins, it's a nice story of triumph and redemption. This one's pretty much a win-win situation for WWE, as long as they fully follow through with whichever booking decision they go with.
