United States Championship
Kofi Kingston (ch.) vs. Dolph Ziggler
Reigniting his storied SmackDown rivalry with United States Champion Kofi Kingston, an even more determined Dolph Zigglerchallenges The Dreadlocked Dynamo for his title at Capitol Punishment in an environment befitting the star-spangled prize: Washington, D.C.
Colliding on several occasions for the Intercontinental Championship in 2010, Kingston and Ziggler were reunited on Raw in the 2011 WWE Draft. After toppling The Celtic Warrior Sheamus in a brutal Tables Match at Extreme Rules to win his second U.S. Championship, Kingston’s return to the red brand was a triumphant one – but Ziggler has never been the congratulatory type.
Flanked by his “business associate” Vickie Guerrero, the arrogant young competitor studied Kingston’s matches for several weeks, all the while knowing that a decisive victory over the high-flying Superstar would put him in contention for the U.S. Title. Ziggler’s scouting ultimately paid off, and defeating Kingston fair and square put the freshly blond ring warrior first in line for a U.S. Championship opportunity.
Will Kingston drop the “boom” on his nemesis in Washington, D.C.? Or will Ziggler and Vickie paint the town red, white and blue in celebration? To find out, tune in to Capitol Punishment, June 19, only on pay-per-view.
