He went on to claim that he saw fear in Drew’s eyes before he claymored Dolph to the ground. That’s why he felt that he deserved another shot at the title to prove himself.
Drew had had enough and he made it clear that Dolph got his chance and he blew it. However, a persistent Ziggler threw a cuss word at McIntyre and finally got himself a title match.
The twist, however, is something that Dolph won’t like much. Drew gets to pick the stipulation of the match and just like Dolph, he will reveal it just before the match starts.
Later in the night, WWE revealed that the match will be taking place next week on Monday Night Raw.
