Judging by the work (the “face” working over Ziggler’s concussion, Ziggler as the “heel” resiliently fighting back and refusing to quit) and commentary (putting over Ziggler’s fighting spirit), they look to be doing a double turn. Del Rio is better as a heel, people want to cheer Dolph, not the worst idea. Just my opinion.
