Right now, the NXT Championship is held by Dolph Ziggler. He was able to win it back at NXT 2.0 Roadblock, pinning Tommaso Ciampa in a triple threat match, which also contained Bron Breakker. Now, he will headline NXT 2.0 Stand & Deliver, taking place on the same Saturday as Wrestlemania. However, this was never the plan – as Ziggler has now revealed.
Dolph Ziggler Never Planned On Becoming NXT Champion
While appearing on WWE’s Wednesday talk show The Bump, he’d have the following to say about his original plans for his time in NXT 2.0.
“It’s pretty wild. You know, I don’t want to do like in character stuff but like, this is a cool moment. I’m slightly richer. I’m just kidding. It’s awesome. I had no idea I was going to be NXT Champion. I didn’t plan on it.
All I wanted to do was check out some new talent scout amount, see who’s got what it takes to go to the next level at some point, maybe report back, say, hey, Raw, hey, SmackDown, hey Vince McMahon, I see something and these guys, these gals, they could do something big in the future.
Let me get my hands on them and next thing you know, two weeks later, I’m the NXT Champion. I would say it’s crazy to me, but I guess I got like 30 or 40 titles.”
Giving Bron Breakker His Biggest Match To Date In Dallas
While Dolph Ziggler is no stranger to massive matches, the same really can’t be said about Bron Breakker. Since coming to WWE, he’s mainly worked in the controlled space of the Capitol Wrestling Center, only leaving for a tag team match on Monday Night RAW.
Stand & Deliver will be his first singles match infront of a big crowd, and you can’t ask for a better person to share the ring with for that moment than Dolph Ziggler. It will be a show of how ready Breakker truly is, but there’s a strong chance it steals the show – and perhaps the weekend.
