- Dolph Ziggler cut a promo on Shinsuke Nakamura before their upcoming match at Backlash on Sunday. Ziggler talks about how he was at one point a rising midcard star, brought up by grassroots style support from the fans and that they love a shiny new toy. He then said:
"On Sunday, when everyone is chanting, and cheering, and just waiting for him to hit his finisher and win the match. And I win. The entire business wins. Because this isn't about hand-picking winners and watching them soar to the top. Ya sink or swim, when you get to WWE on the main roster – especially on SmackDown Live, the cool place to be – I'm here and I'm sure as hell not looking to give up my spot."
Nakamura is tough, charismatic and hits harder than hell...
