Going into The Horror Show At Extreme Rules At The WWE Performance Center In Orlando, Florida In The United States of America, Dolph Ziggler has a unique opportunity. He’s in the RAW branded title match for the evening against current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, and he gets to pick the stipulation. In a night of advertised eye-gouging and trip to the swamp, Ziggler told Comicbook.com that his pick will be something that fans have never seen before.
I’m not kidding when I say, if I get the paperwork to go through, this is something that has never been done before and I would be stupid to go, oh, it’s a chair’s match. And then he just swings chairs at me like a Terminator and knocks me out. That’s stupid. That’s been done. I need something that’s more psychological, more of my way. And if I get this approved by WWE’s lawyers, it’s going to be, I’ll be disappointed if I don’t walk out a WWE champion. And this is on him. He let me pick this. And he assumed I would just pick some random stipulation that’s been done before. Why the hell would I? I’ve been around 15 years. It’s not because I’m an idiot.
Ziggler also talked about his tag team tandem with the Scottsman, saying that, at least in those days, he was a big fan of McIntyre and his work ethic.
When I last saw Drew before this he was walking away from WWE. So, when I saw him there and saw the laser focus in his eyes, heard what he’d been up to, heard he’d been crushing the gym, crushing laser focus of wanting to be the best. I said, “We can really do something special here because we can introduce you to the Raw and SmackDown audience,” reintroduce him, but also show him as this unstoppable terminator who can carry people, three guys on his shoulders, and walk out of the ring.”
