5 Possible feuds for Dolph Ziggler on WWE RAW

Former two-time World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler is reportedly returning to RAW as a part of the trade for AJ Styles. In case you did not know, a few weeks back, The Phenomenal One left RAW to become a member of the Blue brand. The company is yet to announce which SmackDown Superstar would join RAW to fill up for Styles.

Dolph Ziggler can benefit a lot by moving to the Red brand because he had lost his momentum on Friday nights. After the 2019 Draft, Ziggler engaged in rivalries with Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Heavy Machinery. Ziggler's move to RAW means that the love triangle storyline involving him, Otis, and Mandy Rose ends.

The Showoff can reinvent himself on the Red brand. Given that RAW lacks proper babyfaces, it will be fantastic if Ziggler turns face on RAW. Or else, they can continue him as a heel character and book him in some excellent storylines.

Here are the five possible feuds for the Cleveland-based Superstar.

#5 Dolph Ziggler vs. Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre needs a credible challenger

This storyline can be the best way of launching Dolph Ziggler on RAW. He has a lot of history with the reigning WWE Champion, and the two can reignite their rivalry. Drew McIntyre needs some big wins under his belt to ensure that his WWE title reign is a memorable one. With Jinder Mahal out due to injury, and Bobby Lashley being engrossed in his personal life issues with Lana, the Creative team can book a brief rivalry between Ziggler and McIntyre.

McIntyre has established himself as the top guy on RAW, and having a feud with someone like Ziggler will only benefit his character. This decision would allow the six-time Intercontinental Champion to return to the main event scene after a long time.

The last time Dolph Ziggler battled for the WWE Championship was twelve months back at WWE Stomping Grounds. His rivalry with Kofi Kingston didn't reach the heights it was supposed to. However, Ziggler could make up for that with an entertaining feud against Drew McIntyre.

A solid showing against The Scottish Psychopath would solidify Dolph Ziggler as one of the company's top guys, which could help him in his future feuds.

#4 Dolph Ziggler vs. Aleister Black

Aleister Black needs a big win to ascend to the top

Former NXT Champion Aleister Black has assisted Rey Mysterio in his fight against Seth Rollins and his disciples on RAW. However, the fans who have followed him during his time in the Black and Gold brand would know that he has the caliber of becoming a world champion. The Dutch Destroyer has not received a proper direction on the Red brand, and so, it would be great if WWE books a rivalry between him and Dolph Ziggler.

The former two-time World Heavyweight Champion has elevated several NXT graduates on the main roster and can do the same job for Black.

Both Dolph Ziggler and Black are incredibly talented inside the ring, and a match between them is sure to capture the imagination of the WWE Universe.

They can begin their feud after Extreme Rules and set up a match for SummerSlam. With the rumor mills suggesting that the United States Champion Apollo Crews will soon become a heel, Aleister Black can down Dolph Ziggler in a feud and then shift his focus to the US title.

#3 Dolph Ziggler vs. Humberto Carrillo

Dolph Ziggler can help Humberto Carrillo rise

As Paul Heyman has left the Creative team of RAW, the chances that Humberto Carrillo receives a push again are very low. However, given that the Mexican Superstar possesses excellent in-ring skills, Vince McMahon may try to push him one more time. He could give Carrillo a final chance to impress the fans by pitting him in a feud against Dolph Ziggler.

The Showoff and Humberto Carrillo can deliver classic bouts inside the ring, which could help the latter earn a mid-card push again. The benefit of booking a rivalry between Carrillo and Ziggler is that even if the face Superstar cannot gain momentum, WWE can always end the rivalry by giving Dolph Ziggler a significant win.

It will be a win-win situation for both WWE and Dolph Ziggler if the feud mentioned ahead happens on the flagship show. Besides, there is no other heel on RAW, who can have a decent rivalry with Carrillo. Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins, and Randy Orton are involved in separate feuds.

Also, Andrade and Angel Garza have had an extended feud with Carrillo, which leaves Dolph Ziggler as the only reliable choice to get Humberto over with the fans.

#2 Dolph Ziggler vs. Apollo Crews

Will Dolph Ziggler try to become a 3-time United States Champion?

Like Drew McIntyre, the current United States Champion on RAW Apollo Crews needs some significant victories under his belt to ensure that he stays in the upper mid-card of the company. After struggling for almost four years, Apollo has realized his potential and is holding the United States title on RAW.

Last week, he showed signs of turning heel, and the rumor mill has stated that Crews will soon embrace his dark side. Apollo has done an excellent job as a face, but many fans doubt if he can replicate the same performance as an antagonist. The best way to test his heel skills would be to insert him in a rivalry with a face Dolph Ziggler.

Dolph Ziggler is one of the most believable babyfaces in the industry. He has the natural ability to get a positive response from the fans, and there will be not one person cheering for Apollo when he fights as a heel against Dolph. This rivalry can benefit both Superstars as the reigning US champ would get a solid opponent. At the same time, The Showoff will receive one more opportunity to showcase his talent as a babyface.

#1 Dolph Ziggler vs. Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler have clashed in the past as well

Although Kevin Owens emerged victorious in his match against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 36, it seems like The Monday Night Messiah gained more momentum than his rival. Rollins has challenged for the WWE title and is currently a part of a high-profile feud with Rey Mysterio and Dominick on RAW. On the other hand, Kevin Owens is still stuck in the mid-card. Perhaps, The Prizefighter needs one more significant victory under his name before he receives a massive babyface push. This is where Dolph Ziggler can help KO out.

Owens has always had the back of the fans, but a rivalry with Dolph Ziggler can help him gain more support.

As mentioned ahead, Dolph Ziggler is a veteran heel who has elevated many stars in the past. In fact, he even had a feud with Kevin Owens for the Intercontinental Championship a few years ago. So, the two Superstars can rekindle their rivalry on the Red brand once Dolph joins the show.

They can have an extended rivalry where Owens receives a lot of screen time. A big win at SummerSlam can possibly elevay the Canadian Superstar to the WWE title picture. The feud between Dolph Ziggler and Kevin Owens will be very entertaining because both the Superstars have fantastic mic skills.
