5 potential opponents for AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble

#3 Dolph Ziggler

Will the Ziggler storyline lead him to the WWE Championship?

We recently saw Dolph Ziggler win the US Championship and then relinquish it, in the middle of the ring. A US Title tournament is now underway, to determine the next champion to hold the coveted prize. Everyone expects Ziggler to come back and face the new champion. What if he doesn't?

Ziggler's frustrated ways could lead him straight to the WWE Champion's doorstep. He could challenge AJ Styles to a title match at the Royal Rumble, win the prize and then relinquish it in the middle of the ring too. This would be a fitting climax to the ongoing saga of the Show Off.
