When will Dolph Ziggler cash in?

[Wwe Fan 4Eva]

For months now Dolph Ziggler has held the Smackdown Money In The Bank Briefcase and he keeps on trying to cash it in but keeps on getting kicked by Sheamus and then running away with Briefcase in hands.

So I have three questions

1. When do you think Dolph Ziggler will Cash in his Money In The Bank opportunity?

2. Will Dolph Ziggler successfully cash in the Briefcase or will he lose like John Cena did?

3. When and if Ziggler do you think he should have a long title reign or will he lose it quite quickly?

With all the talk lately of Big Show losing the World Heavyweight Championship in 45 seconds to Daniel Bryan, I think they're going to pull it off again. I think Big Show is going to end up defeating Sheamus to win the World Title, only to be the victim of a Brogue Kick post match. Ziggler will then cash in on the unconcious Big Show to become World Champion, this will give Big Show another short reign, but it will fit with the current storyline nicely.

There atleast setting up for him to win at Hell in a Cell. They may change there minds and hold off longer for it but with dolph confroting Sheamus last week on smackdown and Sheamus making fun of big show on raw it looks like there setting up for Sheamus to beat show and for show to get mad and attack sheamus or they could have show win and have sheamus attack show so show loses the title in 45 seconds again. Either way it looks like the plan is for ziggler to win at hell in a cell.

There is no way they have Ziggler lose like Cena did. Cena can afford to lose a cash in cause one hes Cena and two he gave Punk a weeks notice. ziggler is going to cash in on a hurt sheamus or show and he doesn't have the following Cena does.

I think Ziggler will hold it tell atleast Mania when he wins it. I could see him and Orton at mania. So it depends what your definition of long is 6 months sure a year unlikely.

The sooner the better. I wasn't a fan of Ziggler's at ALL until recently. I still don't think he has "it" or will ever be more than a high mid-carder but he deserves a shot. HE would already be more entertaining then Sheamus.

I am hoping he cashes in at HLC so we're spared 3-4 PPVs of Sheamus/Big Show borefeasts.

The only wrinkle I see in him cashing in soon is Barrett was supposed to be the MITB winner until he got hurt. So maybe they have a Sheamus/Barrett feud where Ziggler cashes in on Barrett after beating Sheamus. Then that would set up the whole you cost me the belt and put me out for months prior feud.

 

[Farmer]

I have thought about this a little bit and wondered since Ziggler is supposed to be this cocky heel, what better way for him to add to his cocky attitude than to win the title without even having to cash in the briefcase. Have a fatal four way or triple threat and have Ziggler as a "throw in". People would expect him to maybe cash in after the match but not to win it outright. Just a thought.

 

[TakersBroski987]

I think that the general consensus would be that Dolph cashes in at HIAC. WWE seem to be set on Sheamus/Big Show, which opens the possibility of a Daniel Bryan-esque cash-in. Big Show may not be a threat to Sheamus' title, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a post-match Brogue Kick or WMD, depending on the winner. Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if the Showoff walks out Champ.

I can't see Dolph failing to cash in. Cena is the ONLY person who could not suffer from a failed cash-in.

I can't see Ziggler losing the title "quickly." If Triple H is serious about long title reigns, I could see him hold it at least until Elimination Chamber or even WrestleMania. Crowd reactions play a big part in title reigns. I was expecting Bryan to lose his title at the Rumble after his cash-in, but he became a big hit with the fans. If you listen to the LIVE crowds, Ziggler has been getting decent, even overwhelming face reactions. Maybe, this is the chance for him to break away from Vickie. If he does, and with the lack of main-event faces, I could see a long title reign for the Showoff.

Agreed. Ziggy doesn't have "it" to surpass the high mid card status, and will even drop down to the low mid carder if that fat annoying brat vickie is with him. I think Ziggy deserves a shot, but not a long term championship reign. Man I wish Stone Cold, The Rock, Mick Foley, etc. were all young again...anyways, yes, Ziggy will probably cash in his stupid MITB at HIAC. I don't want more than 2 months of Ziggy as champion though.

You know what I'd like to see?

Two people with an intense, debated, and heated feud. Centering around the belt, and why the belt is so important.

Then somebody just swooping in on an episode of Raw/Smackdown/Superstars, and just taking the belt out of the mix.

The natural reaction would be to then build a Three Way feud around it, but I think there's a lot of interesting stories to be told around two guys fighting intensely over a belt. So much so that they forgot there was that guy with a briefcase, and he just takes it away from both of them. And not on a PPV. On free TV, in the middle of a PPV build cycle.

And that would fit perfectly with Ziggler's "I'm better than you" "Show off" persona.

Unfortunately they blew the WWE Title case on Cena, and Ziggler's walking around with the World belt contract, which I feel has lost a lot of stock since getting wrapped around Sheamus' boring white ass. Not that logic would stop a wrestling show. And I do believe that PDF copy of the contact WWE released did state that the contract was for either/or, and not explicitly one or the other, despite the matches being billed that way. So they have a built in clause to really throw a wrench into this Punk/Cena feud.

Respect the champion? I just beat the champion while you two were arguing like girls. Where's your Hell in a Cell now?

what happened when ziggler cashes in? I think you people just want to see him have a title run and nothing else. What happened after he cashes in? what happened after he loses the title? Im interested of seeing a legit maineventer born, not just another ham n eggers with a world title. Dont like the truth but history has proven it. Besides edge, who really got over with the briefcase? D-bryan and punk didnt get over because of the cash in. Swagger turned into a loser, miz is wondering around as incompetent ic champion. And so.

Ziggler has no momemtum. He lost to orton and jericho in decent high profile ppv match. His promo have stayed stale as well as his gimmick. Wheres that epic momment where youve been waiting so long to see the guy wins the first title? Im not feeling it

The guy needs to win matches, big ones on consecutive basis. His promo still sucks. He needs to talk more more. He needs to be positioned as top player in a high profile feud. And not just some guy randomly paired up in the raw mainevent match.

Thats all i got to say.

 

[bittermang]

D-bryan and punk didnt get over because of the cash in.

I respectfully disagree. The apex of Daniel Bryan was Money in the Bank. Cashing it in, and his feud with the Big Show and Mark Henry over the World Title, is what propelled him into the light. The clown show fashion in which he dropped the belt to Sheamus at Wrestlemania cemented his stardom, when the fans balked at the finish. And all the way he was cutting better promos, honing his character, and becoming the Daniel Bryan we know today. Worlds far and away from the Brian Danielson of the IWC. He reinvented himself, and I believe it started at Money in the Bank.

However, yes, the World title run did nothing for Punk. I didn't even remember he had a run with it until watching old Money in the Banks, seeing him win it, and remembering that no one had lost a cash in yet. As far as the content of his actual run, I can't tell you without Googling.

The guy needs to win matches, big ones on consecutive basis. His promo still sucks. He needs to talk more more. He needs to be positioned as top player in a high profile feud. And not just some guy randomly paired up in the raw mainevent match.

I agree his momentum has been lacking. It's a problem of WWE's ADD booking. He's hot, he's on a roll, he looks like he's going places, and then creative seemingly forgets he's on the roster because they're chasing a new paper tiger. Just like everyone since around 2001. It's the same problem TNA has, but TNA's is one of the grass being evergreener with the new guy they just signed, forgetting all about how the last new guy they signed was the hot ticket in town. WWE just seems to forget.

You want to know how you make his promos better, and not stale? Give him something new to talk about, like a belt. Belts build stars, but only when the belts themselves are important. Which the World title hasn't been, since they took it off Bryan at 'Mania.

While the plot hook is that CM Punk's run with the WWE title has been forgettable, the fact is the World title actually is forgettable. Because no one is pointing out that Sheamus has held his belt for just a few months less than Punk has.

The RAW 20 year anniversary episode in January. Ziggler cashing in at Hell in a Cell is just too predictable, the cash in & title win would have more effect on the fans if it came at a time & in a situation which no one expects. There also isn't a lot of World Title contenders left on Smackdown, so I see the WWE making Show & Sheamus go to a No Contest at Hell in a Cell then dragging out the feud between the two big guys till Survivor Series or TLC before Ziggler cashes in on RAW's 20 year anniversary episode. I know there's Orton but he's already feuded with him a billion times already, and Wade Barrett just returned, I think they should hold off on him a lot longer and wait for Money In The Bank 2013, so he can win the MiTB match then beat Sheamus for the World Title some time after. Dolph Ziggler is the future of the WWE, he's the next main eventer of Smackdown, they should build him up as the top star of the brand by having him win the title closer to Wrestlemania then have him head into Mania as the champion and maybe even retain the title at the big one, that would be the most effective way to get him over as a top champion if they would just hold off his title win till then and do all of that instead of just rushing into it and giving him the belt now. Plus it would make a pretty good statement on RAW 20, that they have built up the future of RAW & the company on a show where they are celebrating the past.

 

[Merkin353]

I live in Atlanta & they keep promoting Dolph Ziggler cashing in @ Hell In A Cell... Well at least they're bringing up the question in a 30 second video... I am almost 100% positive that no major WWE title has changed hands at an event in Atlanta. If I'm wrong someone please let me know & we have had Royal Rumble, Backlash, AND WrestleMania 27... So for a fan by 95 & a real fan by 98 I'd like to see a major title change hands twice in one night... I vote for him to cash it in & I believe it will happen as well.

 

[Kodo Sawaki]

Even before NoC I said that he is gona cash in at Hell in a Cell. Standard WWE logic for heel cash in: Champion exhausted or beaten by someone, chalenger comes in and cashes his briefcase. And I think that he would cash in on Sheamus. They protect him well but it makes more sens in tearms of heat to cash it in on a face champion.

 

[Nadeem Ahmad]

Why not cash it in at Survivor Series? If he is booked in a traditional match and comes out as the survivor, then goes on to challenge for the title at some point, whether or not the World Champion has been booked in a match for the belt, it could make him look stronger. He has been known to wrestle twice in one night at Pay-Per-Views before, but it doesn't happen regularly, which is good. It kind of would lessen the cheapness a winner of Money in the Bank shows when being fresh and facing a champion who already fought that night.

As far as if he will win it, I think the probability would be for him to get the title, just so he could show off more unfortunately.

I don't know how long he would hold the belt for if winning it. He might just defend it at two Pay-Per-Views and then lose it at a major event like Wrestlemania. Who knows?

 

[Airklot]

Since John Cena lost his am I the only one that thinks they could use this as an opportunity to break up dolph and vicky by her some how costing him his shot when he goes to cash it in?

Maybe it's just wishful thinking.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

It's difficult to say. At this time of year, the WWE is heavily into plans for WrestleMania next year. I read a report yesterday that stated officials are keeping plans for most of the top matches very quiet as a means of setting up some big happenings for the Royal Rumble. One plan that's being talked about is a possible match for the WHC between Sheamus & Randy Orton at WM.

There's still a lot that can happen between now and WM. If WWE does go with that scenario for the WHC, Ziggler could always cash in and make the match a threeway dance for the title. Ziggler could also cash in directly following the match to win the title, thus possibly setting up a threeway feud with Orton & Sheamus that could last through the summer. Having two such high profile challengers in the picture could give Zigglers run a lot of heated interest from the very beginning.

There was talk a while back of Ziggler cashing in sometime this year, which could still happen. I'm predicting, however, that Ziggler will ultimately cash in at WrestleMania 29. There hasn't been a cash in at a WM before and it could be a big surprise moment for the event and for Ziggler's career as a whole. I have a feeling that WWE is going to be heavily pushing Ziggler after the first of the year and really start building him strongly in preperation for a run with the title. If he's still heel by that time, he might just go the route of cashing in after the champ has exhausted himself defending the strap, thereby leading to the threeway feud I alluded to earlier.

 

[Just Do It]

HITC PPV would be a good time - after Sheamus survives a gruelling HITC match (and aren't they just redundant now) I'd like to see him cash in. Sheamus needs some fresh opponents, and i imagine there would be interest in a series of matches between the two.

 

[Mr Socko]

Setting the scene: Sheamus has just had a long match with Big Show, several weapons were involved, someone goes through the side of the cage, all the spots. Sheamus picks up the victory, only just, but afterwards Big Show starts attacking him with a chair, throws him out of the ring, chokeslam's him to the outside, rolls him back in the ring and hits the WMD. Big Show leaves the Cell, but halfway up the ramp Dolph's music hits, and he runs out with a referee. He Goes in the ring and the bell is rung, Sheamus gets too his feet, turns around as Ziggler hits the Zig Zag. 1.2.3. Dolph Ziggler, the NEW World Heavyweight Champion! BOOK IT!

 

[XXJJ]

I think he will have a short reign if he cashing it in any time soon. I think Ziggler needs a bit of a character change. IMO he is a piss poor heel. Their is nothing really about him that makes me hate him. He relys on Vickie to draw heat.

I like to see some kind of angle where he leaves Vickie and turns babyface. Maybe, Vickie costs him the title or something. He's a good wrestler but his character feels a little stale and one dimensional.

 

[Dagger Dias]

I am hoping for one of two different times for Dolph Ziggler to cash his briefcase in. The first is Wrestlemania and the other is Money In the Bank of 2012. Each year I hope to see a MITB winner do either of these options. Both Kennedy and Daniel Bryan had promised Wrestlemania cash-in's and neither were able to keep them. In Kennedy's case it was his own fault and in Bryan's things worked out for the better, but it would have been a cool Wrestlemania moment. They could, and honestly should, do this for Ziggler. It will give him a career defining Wrestlemania moment. Waiting an entire year to pass until the next Money In the Bank show could be cool too although they risk the fans losing their patience completely in that scenario. I'd still like to see a year long run with a briefcase at some point even if they do not go that route with Dolph.

We have yet to see someone cash in at the biggest show of the year. Being opportunistic when a champion has been attacked on Raw or Smackdown has been done by nearly every single MITB winner. Something different would be nice and to cash in at Wrestlemania would be a huge moment for Ziggler. The main problem would be how to book him up until that point without the fans getting impatient. That problem holds true for keeping him from cashing in until an entire year has passed, something else that we have never seen. I think it might happen at Hell In a Cell but I would rather they wait so they can do something a little less predictable because if Big Show takes his frustration out on Sheamus after a loss we all know Ziggler is going to run out and cash in. This has been done and should no longer be acceptable unless it is at a more important event in my opinion.

Well your all saying hes definately cashing in on sheamus or show, ever considered he may even cash it in on cm punk or cena as they have been in tag matches recently with either 1 of them screwing each other, just a thought.

The only way that could happen is if Punk and Cena are somehow fueding over the World Heavyweight Title. Remember there were two MITB cases. Cena won the one for the right to challenge for the WWE Title and Ziggler got the one for the right to challenge the WOrld Heavyweight Champion.

 

[Yawa]

With me it has always come down to who needs it more. The fact that it isn't obvious to creative in the grand scheme of things to use the belt to get the heat on new talent and feuds, only letting the talent who are already over have a brief run to satisfyingly conclude a high profile feud.

Times have changed and the titles the vast majority of the time no longer represent the main event. Well if that's how creative is going to approach it, then they should book it that way.

The truth is Sheamus doesn't need the title to be credible. Neither does big show. But a lengthy reign from Ziggler could put him over the top. I don't know why they can't see this. With the lack of emphasis already placed on most of these reigns, they could at least use the title changes on talent ready for the push. Sheamus has had this belt way too long as it is for how over he is. Nothing he can do while holding it will make it any less boring...
