[TD: 8/24/18] Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler

[Stephanie M McMahon]

 

[The Showoff Dolph Ziggler]

(Record scratch)

"I'M HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD,
I'M HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD!!!





After the record scratch, "Here to Show the World" by Downstait would play out through the PA system as it would be no one other than the man himself, Dolph Ziggler. He would appear out of the curtain from gorilla position with a zipped up hoodie. He would turn around on the stage and unzip it, then spreading out his arms after sliding back his hair. The crowd would give him a mixed reaction, but he didn't give a damn. He was here to do one thing, and that was to steal the show. Walking down the ramp, Dolph Ziggler would ignore the people who would stick out their hands requesting a high five, but he didn't wanna touch any one of these dirty people. He had a job to do, and that was to get in the ring and perform. Not socialize with these people. He would begin to make his way down, as he would then approach the steel steps and jump on them, skipping the first step, now running up the steel steps and appearing on the apron. Chewing his gun before entering the ring, he would give an eyebrow in disgust towards the people, before then ducking his head to come in the ring. He would then take off his sweater, and toss it.

The arena was quiet. The crowd was waiting on who was to come next out of the
entrance way. The crowd was ecstatic as ever, looking at the stage and couldn't
wait for the next person to come out. Suddenly, it hit. Fast drumming patterns started
to play throughout the arena, as the crowd recognized it very familiarly. The crowd all
started to stand on their feet and started to raise their hands in the air in happiness.
The people who had the Seth Rollins signs started to raise them up high for the
cameras to capture them and wanting for Rollins to hopefully see them, and see
their support for him. Suddenly, the drums and guitars stopped and all was heard was
a single yelling voice.."BURN IT DOWN!!" The stage and minitrons started
to display a quick flaming video and then would transition to Rollins' entrance video.
The crowd yelled it out loud with the man who yelling through the PA system and
as well with the song, as Rollins' theme song with the guitar riffs started to play
throughout the arena through the loud PA system. Seth Rollins heard the cue of
the man's voice yelling out, as Rollins rushed through the curtain. He looked to
the crowd and started to walk to one side of the stage. He was looking at everyone
with shirts and posters and all the people that were cheering or booing him at
the same time. He started to walk to the other side of the stage and did the
same thing. He started to walk to the center of the stage while he had the confidence
on his face, with a smirk as well. He was in the center of the stage, and then raised
up his arms in the air with his fists locked in his hands. He threw his right fist out
and then in a fast-paced manner started to walk down the ramp, looking down at
the ring. The announcer was in the arena with the microphone in his hand, as he/she
raised up the microphone up to his/her mouth and started to introduce Rollins
to the ring. "From Davenport, Iowa, weighing in at two-hundred, and sixteen
pounds, Seth...Rooolllins!" The crowd would repeat
the announcer announcing Seth Rollins to the ring as Rollins was still walking down
to the ring looking at nothing but the ring, looking focused as ever. Rollins eventually
reached the end of the ramp and then stopped. He looked around the arena
and then made a left turn ignoring the fans that were reaching
out for him, because he knew he had a main focus tonight. He started to walk up
the stairs slowly and then started to walk to the center of the apron. He looked
to the crowd behind him, seeing all the people who were in attendance to see
Seth Rollins. He smiled a bit, but then turned away quickly and then quickly ran
to the turnbuckles, quickly jumping to the top turnbuckle and then raised up
his arms in the air with his fists cocked. He put his arms down, and then looked
around the arena one more time, and then jumped over the top rope to land inside
the ring to land on his feet. He started to walk to the corner and then started to
get ready.

 

[The Showoff Dolph Ziggler]

The two would be in the ring, and Dolph would be pacing around as Seth made his way to the ring. Looking to put him down to get a higher spot in the card sometime his career, Dolph would look to defeat the Number-One Contender for the CWF United States Championship tonight, but not taking the former TNW:R Champion lightly, he was simply a smaller fish in a bigger pond nowadays, and Dolph was gonna capitalize on that opportunity here tonight as he waits for the bell to the ring, keeping eye on his opponent.  

[Messiah Seth Rollins]

Seth Rollins looking across the ring from Dolph Ziggler, one of the
most athletic men on the roster, as Rollins knew he shouldn't take
Dolph lightly as well. The bell would ring, as Rollins started to circle
the ring, watching Dolph's movements, waiting for him to make the first
move.

 

[The Showoff Dolph Ziggler]

After the sound of the bell, Ziggler would circle in the opposite direction of Seth, looking to test his flexibility and reflexes by looking to charge in down low to grapple Seth's legs.  

[Messiah Seth Rollins]

Rollins would see Dolph, as Rollins was known to be fast, if not faster than Dolph in the ring. He started to circle the ring quickly with Dolph and then keeping his distance, as Rollins would quickly get down to his knees and pushed Dolph's arms out of the way to let Rollins continue circle the ring, looking straight into the eyes of Dolph.  

[The Showoff Dolph Ziggler]

Completely missing his mark, Dolph would then be on both knees looking up in the eyes of Seth Rollins with the audience giving a small cheer and applaud for Seth's athleticism. Dolph would give a in-genuine smirk, chewing his gum as he stood back to his feet and looked to then lock up with Seth, offering a collar and elbow tie up.  

[Messiah Seth Rollins]

Seth Rollins would stand up as well, as Rollins threw out his arms as well, getting into the collar and elbow tie-up with Dolph, but in a second within the lock-up, Rollins quickly tried to transition to a quick headlock, overpowering Dolph for the moment.  

[The Showoff Dolph Ziggler]

Transitioned into a headlock, Dolph would find himself struggling for a few seconds in the headlock, when he would look to then moments later, pull his head out and come up behind Rollins, grabbing his arm and looking to twist it up against his back!  

[Messiah Seth Rollins]

Rollins was in the hammerlock position with Dolph Ziggler feeling the pain but quickly transitioned it BACK to Dolph Ziggler grabbing his arm and then transitioning it to his own hammerlock to trap Ziggler.  

[The Showoff Dolph Ziggler]

Back and forth the two went to see who would have the upper hand in these chain sequences! Dolph would placed in position by Seth! seeing it coming however, Dolph wouldn't stay in that position for too long as he would look to crouch down and snapmare Seth to the canvas in a seated position with his free arm!  

[Messiah Seth Rollins]

Rollins was suddenly snapmared to the center of the ring, sitting down on the center of the ring.  

[The Showoff Dolph Ziggler]

Now that Rollins was seated in the center, Ziggler would look to wear down Seth a bit earlier on in the match with a headlock, bending down to apply it upon the seated Rollins!  

[Messiah Seth Rollins]

Rollins felt the headlock, and knew he couldn't be worn down this early in the match. Seth Rollins felt the air being held by Ziggler, as Rollins quickly reacted by getting up near the ropes while still being in the headlock, trying to press Dolph against the ropes and then trying to push his back towards the opposite side, waiting for Dolph to come back to him.
