What Does Dolph Ziggler Have To Look Forward To?

I have said before that Dolph Ziggler deserved something for Wrestlemania. He is a solid worker on the fringes of the main-event scene. He had been without a good feud or storyline for a few weeks.

Recently, they are having him stand up to The Authority. Specifically, to Stephanie McMahon. She had him face Triple H last week. There was a stipulation that Dolph could have any Wrestlemania match he wanted if he won, except for the WWE Championship match. It was a good match, but Triple H won.

What direction could they be going with this? If this was the Attitude Era, I could imagine Dolph eventually overcoming the odds Stephanie put in front of him. When it came time for Ziggler to name his match to the cocky Stephanie McMahon, he would name her as his opponent for Wrestlemania. That might have been fun, but not in this era. I have seen some fans say that Dolph would win a match of his choice and choose to team with Shane against The Undertaker to help him put an end to The Authority. As it stands now, that match is not likely to be a classic. The hype is what really matters, but the match quality has some fans worried. Inserting Dolph Ziggler might help the quality in theory, but will the WWE really go in that direction? I am not sure.

The WWE obviously has to keep this angle going somehow. Dolph Ziggler lost last week. Do they still just have him randomly get some mediocre Wrestlemania match? Even just putting him in the battle royal would be a waste. Stephanie McMahon has been making it a challenge for him to get to Wrestlemania. They can still keep that going for the few weeks left until Wrestlemania. But what match would Ziggler choose? Regardless, this is a storyline for him and it would be a disappointment for them to randomly drop it and put him on the card without Stephanie still trying to make his life miserable.
