From a match quality standpoint, Ziggler for sure, though I agree with ViperRKO (shocking I know) that he doesn't really deserve a shot considering he's lost to Sheamus twice.

But with suspensions and injuries, the WWE has very little choice here. Who else, other than Ziggler, Swagger, or Christian, could they use in this situation and have it be even 1% believable?

I could say Ryback, given his impressive run so far, but he hasn't really beaten anyone of note and there's no way they're going to feed him to Sheamus.

That Orton suspension really hurts right now doesn't it?

to be honest not sure why Brodus or Ryback aren't given a shot in this thing

I can't see either of them going over Sheamus and WWE doesn't want either to lose right now. If they'd put Tensai over Cena last week, they definitely could have used him.

It's too bad, because he had a great match with Cena last week and a decent one with Sheamus tonight. Bah.

Great all this does is backtrack the storyline and gives Ziggler his third shot.

I think if they'd known Del Rio was going to get hurt last Tuesday they would have put Sheamus over Cena on Monday (or not even had them in a match) and then put him in the match at NwO. However, they didn't, so we get Dolph instead.

Match should be pretty good, they've had two already, but yeah, its kind of whack that a guy who's lost to Sheamus twice in the past couple of weeks is facing him again.
