One thing that ecstaticed many wrestlers about this week's smackdown is that the long-vanished "show off brother" dolph ziggler is finally back on the show! Not only that, but he also attacked the current WWE champion Kofi Kingston and officially challenged the WWE champion -
Nearly four months have passed since Dawschiegler last appeared on television this year in The Royal War. During this time, Astoria has been running his own stand-up tour around the United States. Previously, foreign media broke the news that at the end of last year, Adolph and WWE completed the renewal of the contract, WWE hoped that Adolf would transfer to the backstage as a producer, but Dove hoped to continue to be active in the ring, so this is also the reason why Adolf has not received a plot in 2019...
In fact, although absent from this year's "Star Transfer", Adolf Ziegler is still raw's superstar, at least at present, the WWE official website has not changed Adolf's camp. It may be that the recently introduced wild card rules gave Astoria the opportunity to challenge champions across brands. But challenging the first-line champions with one shot is really unexpected by everyone! You know, it's been a long time since Adolf left the first-line champion plot...
Altdorf's last challenge to the first-line champions was in 2018's Fast Drive, where he competed in a WWE Championship Six-Fold Threat Race but didn't win. He then came to Raw through star transfers, won two intercontinental championships and one raw doubles title, and although he was in the first line for a while, he did not participate in the first line championship competition. Until early 2019, after helping Drew Mcintyre successfully ascend to the throne, Dave Ziegler completely disappeared from the plot...
So what made Altoff suddenly come back this week and get the chance to challenge for the first-line champions? Wrestler personally believes that there are the following points:
1. Kofi Kingston's champion transitioner
In 2019, Kofi Kingston got out of his 11-year second-tier career and became famous in Wrestling Mania 35! Won the WWE title, completed the feat of grand slam, successfully entered the first line...
WWE also took pains to promote Kofi to the top, and before "Wrestling Mania 35", smackdown almost all of them gave Kofi an upgrade package, including "second brother" Randy Orton, Samoa Joe and others. This week, he beat Kevin Owens in the Contract Ladder Contest. Looking at the entire blue brand, the only thing that seems to be suitable to become a rival to Kofi Kingston seems to be Roman Reigns...
But Romain's showdown with Coffey is mostly set in an annual event like Summer Frenzy, with three months left in between. So, WWE needs a superstar to have a championship plot with Kofi during this time. Since the smackdown line has fought with Kofi, and the raw line can't come to the smackdown for a long time, the long-dormant and popular Adolf Ziegler has naturally become the first choice for wwe!
Second, saudi market demand
WWE overseas market is different from the North American market, overseas fans love the old players more than the new era players, which is why the undertaker, goldberg, hhh (triple h), John Cena and others will frequently attend overseas events! If you're careful enough, you'll find that veteran players like Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio, who are already second-tier, are getting a lot of noise overseas every time.
Although Adolf's qualifications are not as good as legendary players such as the Funeral Bearer, he is also a veteran who has played for WWE for more than ten years and has a certain popularity base. Perhaps in response to the demand of the Saudi market, WWE will arrange for Dove Ziegler to become Kofi Kingston's opponent in Super Confrontation!
Third, the last glory of the career
The possibility of this last reason is minimal, but it is what all Astoria fans most want to happen! Born in 1980, Adolf is 39 years old this year, the golden age of his career has passed, and it is almost impossible to get a chance to get to the top in the future... However, he is still one wwe champion who can become a Grand Slam player! If Kofi Kingston can fight back, why can't Dove Ziegler?
Altdorf gave a touching speech on this week's smackdown show, and although he was a villain, the corners of His eyes actually flashed tears. His desire to be the WWE Champion is true, ten years ago, and it is true today! "Wwe owes Dow a first-line champion...", this sentence makes many wrestlers cry. Maybe the WWE executives suddenly realized that the man who was fighting very hard in the ring was about to turn 40 and should consider giving him a WWE championship...
