5 potential challengers for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble

#4 Dolph Ziggler

Will Ziggler get his shot at the big one?

Last night on Smackdown Live, Dolph Ziggler did the unthinkable and seemingly relinquished the United States Championship, and walked out of the WWE.

With all of the talks about his contract expiring, this could all be a ruse to get people talking. After all, creative love to blur the lines between story-line and reality at the moment.

I, however, have a feeling that there is something bigger at work here. Perhaps Ziggler will say he is above mid card titles and offer up his career in exchange for a WWE Title match. This way he will either finally win the big one or fade away to finally be properly repackaged.

He could even go out on a high with a programme with Styles. Having retired at the hands of the Phenomenal One is a great way for the former WWE Champion to end his 13-year stint with the company.
