10 WWE Storylines from 2018 that didn't get resolved

#5 Dolph Ziggler's potential bid for the WWE Championship

No one knows why a wrestler would voluntarily relinquish gold for no apparent reason

This storyline technically stems from Clash of Champions 2017, when Dolph Ziggler pulled off the shock of the night. He was randomly inserted into a feud building up between Corbin and Bobby Roode and did the unthinkable – he won the United States Championship in a dramatic fashion.

Two nights later, Ziggler did the unthinkable again – he voluntarily relinquished the title, claiming that the fans didn’t deserve him. If this was Dolph Ziggler’s way of announcing he was leaving the WWE, that would be one thing - but this proved not to be the case as he returned at the Royal Rumble in 2018 as the last entrant.

This leads to a rational explanation of Ziggler relinquishing the United States Championship because he wanted one of the World Championships. This all would make sense had he won the Royal Rumble - but he didn’t.

What makes it slightly more confusing is that instead of being thrown into a fatal-five way for the United States Championship on the main card at WrestleMania 34, he instead settled for a pre-show match, which he didn’t win either.

Even though he formed a formidable partnership with Drew McIntyre and has captured both the Intercontinental and the Raw Tag Team Championship since then, Ziggler’s storyline of relinquishing the United States Championship has yet to come to any conclusion.
