Dolph Ziggler vacated the United States Championship a few weeks ago on Smackdown Live. Daniel Bryan announced a tournament that will determine a new Champion. Bobby Roode and Jinder Mahal both won their first-round matches on Smackdown this week. There are still two more matches to determine the semi-finals.
As we speculated after Dolph left the title in the ring, it looks like WWE could be mimicking an old storyline of the past. We suggested that this was a mirror of the storyline that WWE did with CM Punk and the WWE Title back in 2011.
Potential Ladder Match:
The Twitter account @Wrestlevotes suggests that it could be mirroring another storyline from the past. For those curious, the @Wrestlevotes account has been credited with breaking the story of Neville walking out of WWE.
They suggest that this could lead to a ladder match, similar to what happened at Wrestlemania X. For those that forget, both Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon faced off in a ladder match after both claiming that they were the true Intercontinental Champion. The account suggests that the Ziggler storyline could be leading to a ladder match between him and whoever wins the U.S Title tournament.
Not exactly sure where this Dolph Ziggler US Title angle is going but one idea I’ve heard is to mirror the WrestleMania X ladder match dual belt storyline. A new US champ is crowned, Ziggler returns as “rightful” champ and both belts hang during ladder match. We shall see…

It would make sense since a report suggests that Ziggler is still working live events for WWE but is being kept off television. The ladder match is a rumor though so take with a grain of salt.
What would you think of this happening? Would you like to see it?
This should be interesting (in a good way ) if done right
