Dolph Ziggler is in the ring with a ladder as the briefcase hangs above the ring. Dolph looks at the briefcase and he says that climbing this ladder and reaching up and grabbing that prize is a symbol. It is a symbol you’ve made it. It means that you’ve gone for it, you’ve climbed to the top, and you’ve grabbed it. Your life changes in an instant. He says that he knows.
Two years ago, it was him. He climbed this ladder and grabbed that contract. It was the greatest moment of his career. Dolph thinks about it for a moment and he says that most importantly, claiming that prize sent him on a path and you know where that led to. He cashed in the night after Wrestlemania and pinned Alberto Del Rio to become the World Champion.
Dolph says that because of you, it was the greatest moment of his life. Somehow, some way, lightning is going to strike twice. This Sunday, at Money in the Bank, one more time, he climbs this ladder and he reaches up and grabs that contract. This Sunday, it’s not about stealing the show . . . it’s about taking what’s mine.
