Finn Balor vs. Dolph Ziggler announced for WWE Raw
Coming out of TLC, Finn Balor vs. Dolph Ziggler is set for this week’s episode of Raw.
Balor defeated Drew McIntyre at TLC, with Ziggler playing a part in the story of the match. Ziggler ambushed McIntyre and superkicked him on the outside while the referee wasn’t looking. McIntyre then stopped Ziggler from hitting him with a chair. While McIntyre was focused on Ziggler, Balor gave McIntyre a dropkick and hit the Coup de Grace for the win.
There was a backstage segment later in the show where Ziggler interrupted Balor during an interview. Ziggler insulted Balor and attacked him as they argued over why Ziggler got involved in Balor’s match.
This week’s Raw is taking place at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. Along with the episode featuring fallout from TLC and the start of Raw’s build to the Royal Rumble, Vince McMahon will return to WWE television to “shake things up.”
