It’s interesting how the conversation is more about Ziggler leaving than him winning the Intercontinental Championship. While a potential departure is obviously the bigger headline, winning The Miz’s title would keep him around. It seems like that’s gotten lost in the shuffle because instead, we’re giving an obituary to Ziggler’s career. This makes it feel like the former Spirit Squad member will win at No Mercy.
