Ziggler + Breeze = The New Hollywood Blondes: Fantasy Booking


In this article we will focus on a fantasy booking, if Tyler Breeze and Dolph Ziggler teamed up and formed The NEW Hollywood Blondes. We will be analysing Breeze and his debut onto the main roster from NXT to his brief rivalry with Ziggler, then we will analyse Ziggler’s current role in the WWE before concluding with the fantasy booking.


From May 25th 2015 Dolph Ziggler has been engaging in various feuds and storylines. Starting with his feud with ‘The Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev, what ignited the feud was Rusev’s lust to get Lana back while in the midst of this Lana and Dolph were having an on-screen relationship.

With Lana  aligning herself with Ziggler and became his valet.  Ziggler’s character was changed ever so slightly he still kept the whole ‘Show-off’ gimmick with the new addition of he was seen spotting an 80s Glam Rock attire such as Denim sleeveless jackets, bandanas and patches like those you have seen worn by bands such as Motley Crue, Poison and  Def Leopard. 

Ziggler and Lana carried on their on-screen relationship which eventually resulted in a couple of matches between Ziggler and Rusev. The first match between the two was at the Summerslam Pay-Per-View  which ended in a double count out, as Lana and Rusev’s new valet Summer Rae got involved. A rematch at Night of Champions took place this time we saw Ziggler emerging as the victor.

The feud came to an end when in October the celebrity news website TMZ  reported that both Rusev and Lana who were a real life item had become engaged.


Ziggler’s next feud was with Tyler Breeze who was the newest superstar to come from NXT to the main roster. Both Ziggler and Breeze appeared on the  MIZ TV segment of the October 22nd episode of Smackdown which saw Breeze who had now acquired Summer Rae as his valet attack Ziggler. Ziggler then went onto enter the tournament to crown the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion but lost to Ambrose in the second round.

He then picked up his rivalry with Breeze and the two went one on one at Survivor Series, in which he was unsuccessful. He then had a rematch against Breeze on RAW but this time he was able to get the win.

Ziggler won the final encounter between the two on Smackdown thus closing the feud.


*Now to take a look at Tyler Breeze*


‘Prince Pretty’, ‘The Sultan of Selfies’ Tyler Breeze, burst onto the main roster selfie stick and all made his debut on Smackdown on the MIZ TV segment aligning himself with Summer Rae and attacking Dolph Ziggler.  He then made his in-ring debut facing Dean Ambrose in the first round to crown a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion in a losing effort.


After his feud with Dolph Ziggler ended  he faced off against Neville where the two traded wins and losses against one another. Before Breeze went on to feud with the return of  ‘The Bizarre One’  Goldust, after a distraction cost Breeze his match against Titus O’Neil  he got a match against Goldust and came out victorious. Breeze and Summer Rae decided to go separate ways brining an end to Rae serving as Tyler’ valet.




*How I would book Breeze and Ziggler*



Breeze is already displayed as a heel  once his feud with Goldust comes to an end as I don’t see  those two facing off one on one at any Pay-Per-Views .  I also don’t see much happening for either Ziggler or Breeze as singles competitors. I would have Ziggler and Breeze appear in some back stage segments even while Breeze is feuding with Goldust. 

Ziggler would begin to appear in some of Tyler’s matches joining the commentary team, or joining him in the ring after matches, at first he would accompany Breeze to the ring and tease a heel turn.  by distracting opponents and in his own matches using more of an aggressive in-ring style of wrestling, and using slightly underhanded tactics to pick up victories.


Breeze and Ziggler would begin to team together as well in the odd tag team match, and would show a good ability of working as a team and would catch the eye of the WWE Universe and the tag team division. As time goes on, they would do both singles and tag matches as they would always accompany the other to their match and the two would always attack their opponent at the end.


Tyler and Dolph  would take some time off from television in order to be repacked as a tag team and to pay homage to Stone Cold and Brian Pillman, and seeing as they both have bleach blonde hair, the creative team would repack  the duo as The NEW Hollywood Blondes. They would have their debut match as an official tag team against  The Usos, the Usos would win by disqualification  as Ziggler would use a chair shot to save Breeze who was about to be pinned.

*I feel putting these two as a tag team would help both Ziggler and Breeze as they are wasted as singles wrestler and with the lack of heel tag teams in comparison to face tag teams in the main roster, it would be a perfect  time to introduce a new heel tag team into the mix.*


After properly establishing the team as a heel team. They would not go after the titles just yet, but instead go for dominance and attack teams like The Lucha Dragons, The New Day and The Usos. After gaining their first win as a tag team, in a dominant win over the newly repacked Los Matadores (whatever their new tag gimmick would be). 


The Royal Rumble around the corner the two would enter the qualifying matches to gain entry to the rumble, both are victorious in their matches. During the rumble Dolph has drawn number 6 and Breeze has drawn number 12. So six number difference meaning that Ziggler would have to survive 6 other superstars before Breeze enters, he manages to hold on  and together Ziggler and Breeze work as a tag team and manage to get two eliminations  before being eliminated themselves  by Mark Henry.

Although they were unsuccessful in winning the rumble match. The two would continue to be quite a force in the tag team division, getting a  victory over The Lucha Dragons.


They would then go onto feud with The Lucha Dragons  on RAW and Smackdown beating them on both occasions. After victory number two over The Lucha Dragons, they would then cut a promo saying the tag teams out there better take notice, as they aren’t ready for The NEW Hollywood Blondes.

At Fast Lane The New Hollywood Blondes face off against  The Primetime Players in a winning effort after a double super kick to Daren Young to get the victory.

On the RAW after Fast Lane, The New Day receive a rematch but once again are unable to recapture the titles. A Ladder match for the number one contenders is announced for Mania and qualifying matches are set up  here are the teams;

The New Day, The Usos, Enzo and Cass, Dawson and Wilder, Dreamer and Rhyno, Harper and Rowan, The Vaudevillians, Prime Time players,  The Cosmic Wasteland (Konor and Viktor) and Ziggler and Breeze (The NEW Hollywood Blondes) . Ten teams,  The Usos defeat The Cosmic Wasteland, The New Day are defeated by The Prime Time Players, Dawson and Wilder beat  The Vaudevillians, The NEW Hollywood Blondes beat Enzo and Cass and Dream and Rhyno lose to Harper and Rowan.

So the ladder match is set for mania. The numbers one contenders match will happen on the pre-show of WrestleMania The Usos vs The Prime Time Players vs Dawson and Wilder vs Harper and Rowan vs The NEW Hollywood Blondes.
