WWE No Way out 2012 Predictions: Dolph Ziggler Will Defeat Sheamus for Title

Dolph Ziggler's time has finally arrived. His push is long overdue, in my opinion, and he deserves to defeat Sheamus at No Way Out for the World Heavyweight Championship. This isn't a knock on Sheamus—he's a solid part of the WWE roster—but his title reign has served its purpose.

Ziggler needs some major gold to vault him to a new level, and this is the title that can accomplish that. The moment I heard Ziggler tell Vickie Guerrero "you gotta get me out of this tag-team," I knew the push was going to come on strong. Check it out here:

The WWE knew that Ziggler's upside is much higher than Jack Swagger's. In light of Randy Orton's issues and Chris Jericho's tomfoolery, this is the perfect time to separate Ziggler from Swagger. Both of them are solid in the ring, but let's face it: Zigs has more swag than Swagger.

I have been saying for a while that Ziggler has Triple H- or Jeff Jarrett-like potential. All he needs to do now is to spit water over himself during his entrance and bust an old lady in the head with a guitar (in the wrestling world, of course).

Who could forget this?

Seriously, Ziggler needs a more demonstrative physical gimmick and some despicable, but charismatic acts to put him over for good.

But first, he needs a relatively clean victory over the Great White at No Way Out. The WWE needs to let him shine in the ring without controversy, and then they can work the other possibilities.

I'm looking for Ziggler to Zig-Zag Sheamus in spectacular fashion to win one of the best matches of the night.
