It should be Dolph Ziggler, not Sting, who wrestles Triple H at WrestleMania

Since Sting made his much anticipated debut at Survivor Series and cost The Authority the match after attacking the COO, it has been expected that the two will square off at WrestleMania, thus depriving the fans of the Sting Vs Undertaker match.

Another viable option for ‘The Game’ at WrestleMania is to take on Dolph Ziggler, the man who he has recently fired and the man that the company have belittled for over a year now.

 

Ziggler is a great babyface, the fans get behind him because he genuinely is a show-stealer but always gets pushed down the card, and he also doesn’t endear himself to management with his outspoken comments on the same guys being ‘on top’.

 

Although these elements are the perfect recipe for a killer storyline which could culminate at WrestleMania and be one of the headline matches and really put Ziggler over.

 

There can be no denying that Ziggler has found himself in a more favourable position in the last few months, winning the match for Team Cena at Survivor Series, and winning the Intercontinental Championship, although he has since lost that title to Bad News Barrett.

 

It seems as though he has battled through the dog-house which is a technique Vince McMahon commonly uses to test the mettle of all WWE Superstars – he even did it with Triple H back in 1996 after the infamous ‘Curtain Call’.

 

There can be no denying that Ziggler, pushed correctly can be a huge star, look at the reactions to his feud with Chris Jericho and John Cena in late 2012, and the reaction when he won the world Heavyweight Championship the night after WrestleMania 29 – and a win against Triple H can put him back on the march to the top of the card.

 

You can play-off real-life tensions with Ziggler commenting on Randy Orton, Triple H, John Cena and others, and use that as a focal point of the story. You also have a similar dynamic to that of Triple H and Daniel Bryan from last year, Ziggler is very similar in stature to Bryan, and ‘The Game’ is so good at talking down to talent who he feels are not in his league – probably playing off his real life views.

 

Given the opportunity, the two could have a great match and tell a compelling story, of-course the issue will be whether Triple H feels Ziggler is a big enough name for him to wrestle, considering he only has a few matches left, but he should see the bigger picture and see that he can help rebuild a superstar who was on the cusp of super-stardom two years ago, but has tragically not been handled correctly.

 

That way you could free up Sting to wrestle The Undertaker, and while it may not rival a potential Sting Vs Triple H bout in terms of quality, in terms of a spectacle it would blow a Sting/Triple H match out of the water.

 

You don’t need ‘The Streak’ to do the match – you simply bill it as a retirement match for both men, and that will hook the fans in as they know, win, lose or draw, this is it for two wrestling icons.
