Dolph Ziggler is fresh off of his Money in the Bank win Sunday night and his fans are already salivating at the thought of a long championship run. The WWE has dropped the ball with him before but they have a golden opportunity to push him to the moon and this is how they should do it.
I've been saying for months now that for Ziggler to be taken seriously, they need to get him away from Vickie Guerrero. There is no better time to do that than now.
The beginning of this journey should start immediately with a backstage segment between Guerrero and Ziggler. We need to see Ziggler stating how he did not want to cash in his briefcase in a cheap way because he wants to be the best and wants to do it the right way.
Guerrero could then scold him for that thinking because it does not make "business" sense. She should hammer home the idea that it's all about getting the championship and it doesn't matter how he does it.
From here, there should be multiple instances where the champion is down and Ziggler's music hits. Guerrero should be literally dragging Ziggler out to the ring to get him to cash in the briefcase but ultimately he should decide against it.
At some point the mini-feud between Ziggler and Guerrero can come to a head and the face turn can become complete. Ziggler would confront Guerrero and cut a long promo about his desire to be the best and how he's going to earn it and appreciate it.
Ziggler can fire Guerrero, which would instantly get him a lot of face reaction (which he's already getting). He can still be cocky but similar to a guy like The Rock, he can still be a "cool" face.
The fans love front-runners. They love guys who can wrestle and talk and most importantly, they love guys who win. Was The Rock a great worker? Was Hulk Hogan a great worker? How about Goldberg? The reason the fans really got behind them is that they were winners.
This is the WWE's opportunity to make Dolph Ziggler a winner. He's got all the tools, now he just needs the opportunity.
