Recently, he returned at the Royal Rumble. But where did he go? Why did he return? Really? What does that even mean? That’s all we get as far as an explanation for where Ziggler vanished to, and why he gave up a title in the process? Then Ziggler finished the promo by saying no one can out-shine him and he wants the one title that has eluded him, the WWE Title. Charlotte beat Sarah Logan Given the circumstances, there’s reason to believe we’ll see Charlotte face Ruby Riott next week and complete the trio of matches against the group. This match in particular did more for Logan and the Riott Squad than it did Charlotte. It’s not that long, competitive matches aren’t important. But these are relatively new wrestlers, so it’s defining Charlotte down to their level to a certain extent. As much as it would bury the Riott Squad, Charlotte should plow through this competition. At the very least, she should steamroll the first two before finally getting to Ruby Riott last. I’d rather they not book this match at all, and give the Riott Squad something to do that will build them up better. This was a good match, but it suffered in terms of reaction because both guys were heels and the crowd wasn’t sure who to invest in as a babyface. Both are heels and both acted as heels. That being said, they worked hard to get the people invested and it seemed, by the finish, that the crowd was more into what they were doing. Big E & Kofi Kingston beat Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin There will certainly be a rematch here at some point, after Xavier Woods ran a distraction and interference to allow New Day to get the win. The match was really quick though, much quicker than I thought, but that’s covered somewhat by the case that it wasn’t clean. It also helped protect Gable and Benjamin, which they need. Dolph Ziggler beat Sami Zayn This was a really strange match, and a strange way to end the program. Owens wrestled Corbin in a heel-heel match, and I think Zayn-Ziggler was also a heel-heel match? It’s hard to say, because I don’t think any of us know what Ziggler is anymore. Is he a heel like he was before he left, or is he an unexplained babyface now, after his unexplained last few weeks?
