Dolph Ziggler Must Not Interfere in Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan Match

Dolph Ziggler is floating within the WWE landscape.

He doesn't have a program leading up to WrestleMania 31. That's blasphemy considering the fact that Ziggler was one of the top faces of the company in the latter half of 2014.

Ziggler, not gaining any momentum heading toward WrestleMania, has become fodder for Bray Wyatt over the past few weeks. However, a change in his luck could come at WWE Fastlane. The event takes place on Sunday, February 22. The main event is a match that will have repercussions for WrestleMania.

Roman Reigns will place his WWE title opportunity on the line against Daniel Bryan. Reigns won the Royal Rumble, while Bryan defeated Seth Rollins to earn the right to face Reigns on Sunday.

What does this have to do with Ziggler? I’m glad you asked.

The latest rumors have Ziggler matching up with Bryan at WrestleMania. According to F4WOnline, via WrestleZone.com, those plans might have changed.

The article stated that Bryan has a chance to go over Reigns and face Brock Lesnar for the title. There’s also the possibility Bryan joins the match and makes it a Triple Threat.

Ziggler, on the other hand, would most likely work a tag team match. He’d partner with Ryback, the big guy who has been Ziggler’s ally since Survivor Series.

Let’s go back to the previous scenario. Ziggler and Bryan haven't faced each other in a marquee event since Bragging Rights in 2010. This match coming to fruition would please wrestling fans and steal the show from the others.

That program must be built soon. But the position Ziggler could be placed in is against the one man WWE is trying to build: Reigns.

Ziggler should not interfere in Reigns vs. Bryan at WWE Fastlane.

It would result in Reigns falling further out of hardcore fans' good graces. Ziggler costing Bryan the match either accidentally or purposely would make Reigns weak.

It could also turn Reigns on the rest of the WWE Universe. Bryan gets great reactions wherever he goes. If the WWE Creative team does this, it might as well make Bryan the WWE’s main star.

WWE Creative would have to make Lesnar a babyface, which is a bad idea all around. Lesnar’s contract expires after WrestleMania 31. There’s no way the fans will root for someone who’s possibly on the way out.

This also could spell doom for Paul Heyman. Heyman has been masterful while Lesnar has been the champion. He's run down names in a verbal massacre. Why would anyone risk turning Heyman into a good guy when he’s best antagonizing the WWE crowd?

As far as Reigns is concerned, say goodbye to the glory of being the top face. If this happens, Reigns loses whatever legitimacy he has left, creating a domino effect.

It’s amazing how inserting one Superstar can affect the careers of others.

Adding Ziggler to this scenario could be problematic in the long run. The WWE needs a star to build and elected Reigns to fill that void. If Ziggler interferes, the company will have to either delay Reigns’ rise to the top or scrap it entirely.

Ziggler should not interfere in Reigns vs. Bryan at WWE Fastlane. It would turn ugly, and WWE would be digging a hole from which it could not get out. Let Reigns and Bryan work out their issues by themselves. The creative staff will then have four more weeks to build Bryan and Ziggler, should it choose to go that route.

Otherwise, let’s have the main event end without controversy for a change.
