Dolph Ziggler def. John Morrison Survivor Series 2011
United States Champion Dolph Ziggler defeated John Morrison
United States Champion Dolph Ziggler retained his title despite a game effort from John Morrison. But the showoff was humbled by Long Island’s Zack Ryder following the match.
The arrogant Ziggler engaged in a tough back and forth battle with The Prince of Parkour.
