After suffering a brutal assault at the hands of Alberto Del Rio during their World Heavyweight Championship Match at WWE Payback, it has been determined that Dolph Ziggler is not medically cleared to compete at this time.
Ziggler was recently out of action for a month, due to a concussion. Though it was eventually determined that he was able to compete against his aggressive No. 1 contender on Sunday, the unrelenting onslaught that Del Rio unleashed – which ultimately caused him to lose the illustrious championship gold – clearly took its toll.
