Over the course of the past several weeks, it seems that Dolph Ziggler's dance cart of potential challengers for his United States Championship has gotten pretty full. As of right now, there seem to be possibly three guys on Raw right now that seem to have their sights on Ziggler and all do bring something different to the table.
Zack Ryder - The Long Island Ice-Z has become a fan favorite and relevant member of the WWE roster over the course of the past 6 months or so due to his constant presence on the internet. Ryder's popularity is on the rise and he continues to get good responses. Ryder is energetic, has good promo ability, is loaded with personality and can certainly go inside the ring. He's also extremely young with a potentially bright future. He also owns a couple of pinfall victories over Ziggler and vice versa. We all know about the online petition that's been worked into the angle for Ryder to get himself a title shot and it's gotten a favorable response. I have a feeling that Ryder would've gotten his shot this Sunday at Survivor Series had Christian not been injured. WWE needed a replacement and Ziggler is certainly a quality replacement.
Mason Ryan - Mason Ryan is green as a bean but has been getting mostly favorable responses from the crowds. Ryan has one of the most impressive physiques of any wrestler I've ever seen and he's had Ziggler in his sights really ever since he made his return to Raw a few months back. The WWE has definitely been pushing Ryan as he's manhandled Ziggler everytime they've been in the ring with him. The problem is that, as I said, Ryan is very green and his limitations are pretty obvious. Aside from an incredible build, he doesn't bring very much to the table at this time.
John Morrison - The reason I'm including JoMo here is because of his actions last night. As Ziggler was leaving the ringside area, Morrison comes out and tosses Ziggler back into Ryan. JoMo & Ziggler had a really good match against each other on last week's Raw in which JoMo scored a surprise win, ending a losing streak that's stretched back several months. Morrison is entertaining inside the ring and is almost inhumanly athletic. The problem is that JoMo's future with the WWE seems up in the air at this point. From what I've read on the internet, there's talks that he could be interested in heading to TNA. There are reports that Morrison isn't booked on any upcoming WWE shows in December so, on the surface, it easy to see how Morrison could be leaving. But then, why give him a win over Ziggler last week and why inject him into Ziggler's business last night unless it's going to lead to something?
