The Funkasaurus Brodus Clay has got the better of former champion Dolph Ziggler in an impromptu match at the WWE’s pay per view event Extreme Rules on Sunday, the company’s first pay per view since the hugely successful Wrestle Mania 28. This was the first real test that Clay had faced and it can be said that he passed it with flying colors at the end of the match. The dancing machine with a hard head literally drove his head into the gut of Vicki Guerrero’s boy toy, securing the victory with a huge splash from the top rope.

This match was one of the biggest matches that Clay has had in his career, in particular because Ziggler was the toughest opponent that he has faced since he returned to the ring at the turn of the year and it can be said that he made s statement of intent by annihilating the former champion. However, in retrospect, although Clay is moving in the right direction, it seems that Dolph Ziggler has lost his way after a hugely successful and championship laden beginning to his career in the WWE.

Ziggler has somehow faded into oblivion over the last few months and in spite of having been the champion, he never had the power brokering aura about himself as can be expected of someone with a championship winning caliber such as The Rock, John Cena and the likes. This match with further went on to cement the fact that Ziggler is nothing but a mid-card jobber in the company.

It has been commented that WWE uses Ziggler to sell other people and that is why, he is the first one to go out into the ring, just to make other people look good and it’s high time that Dolph Ziggler made some introspections as to his goals in the WWE.
