WWE Intercontinental champion Dolph Ziggler stakes his title against Sami Zayn at Survivor Series in a cross-brand card. Zayn gained the right to face the Showoff after defeating Rusev in a no.1 contender’s match recently.
This is a big opportunity for Zayn who has so far been wandering around in the middle cards, Bleacher Report reported. He tried to stir up something with Braun Strowman, but the landscape apparently changed when the big guy secured a slot for Team Raw for Survivor Series.
Strowman will team up with an unlikely group that includes Chris Jericho, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins, WWE.com reported. It remains to be seen if the controversial group can pan up against a formidable team SmackDown on Nov. 20 from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The Ziggler vs. Zayn matchup should be action-packed with both known for their aggressive and death-defying maneuvers. A question that lurks is whether this card will be a clean one or see interference from someone who has vested interest in the Intercontinental title – The Miz.
The Miz took exception last week when he was not even considered by general manager Daniel Bryan for team SmackDown. In the same show, the heel wrestler also lost any chance of vying for the IC title to Ziggler, the same guy he lost it to. A lot of that could be cleared up in coming SmackDown episodes.
It is no secret that The Miz has been linked to a possible move to Raw so he could inadvertently help Sami Zayn and get a title-shot on the red brand. This is the assumption that something is cooking like a silent move to Raw.
The scenario would render Bryan and Ziggler helpless with the IC title on Raw. The Miz could pick up from there and viola, new storyline for the WWE. If not, expect the Miz to do something as he tries to steal one from Ziggler like a disqualification win. Right now, anything is possible so stay tuned for more updates on Game and Guide.
