Dolph Ziggler Returns as Surprise Opponent for Solo Sikoa – Solo Sikoa entered the November 17 episode of WWE RAW ready to oppose a mystery challenger in The Last Time Is Now tournament, which is designed to determine who will face John Cena in his final WWE match.
The identity of Sikoa’s opponent remained undisclosed until the match began inside Madison Square Garden, revealing former WWE World Champion Dolph Ziggler as the surprise entrant. The announcement marked Ziggler’s first WWE appearance since his departure from the company in September 2023, creating a significant reaction among viewers and those in attendance.
Despite being absent for more than a year, Ziggler stepped immediately into competitive action, delivering what was described as a strong and evenly contested bout. Both Sikoa and Ziggler exchanged momentum throughout the match, with Sikoa ultimately securing the win and advancing further in the tournament. His victory keeps The Bloodline’s influence in the spotlight as the tournament continues to unfold.
This return appearance came shortly after Nemeth publicly stated that he was not involved in the tournament, noting that he and his brother Ryan had been focused on their ongoing commitments with TNA Wrestling. Ziggler originally signed with WWE in 2004, first debuting on the main roster as Nicky of the Spirit Squad in 2005 before reintroducing himself in 2008 under the Dolph Ziggler name. Throughout his WWE tenure, he achieved two World Heavyweight Championship victories, won the 2012 Money in the Bank contract, and collected a long list of title reigns across multiple divisions.
Following his WWE exit in 2023, Nemeth made select appearances in New Japan Pro Wrestling before signing with TNA Wrestling in January 2024. His first months in the company produced significant results with both world tag team and world heavyweight championship runs. He also main evented TNA’s Turning Point streaming special last Friday and continues to carry the Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy, signaling ongoing momentum outside WWE.
