Revealed: Dolph Ziggler's Push Disappeared, But Why? How Was Randy Orton Involved?

We've seen it on WWE TV pretty evidently but before Dolph Ziggler had his unfortunate concussion (twice), he was seemingly already losing his momentum. 

Why? We all knew Dolph had spoken out in interviews in regards to being "the guy" in the WWE and how the mould is not changing. Well, these are the comments that Dolph went "too far" in and lost his major push as champion. 

They involve Randy Orton and the comments were made on September 4th to MLive.com.

"I've made it clear; I'm not patient at all - several times. I've been very vocal about my position on the card and in the company. I'm not trying to say 'Hey, everybody sucks and I'm great!' But I love doing this, and at some point you go 'OK, It's not my time right now and I got to figure something out' And when it's time, that's when I must go out there and make as huge of an impact as I can and let everyone know 'I dare you to follow that, I dare you try something better.' And when they don't (counter or match what I'm doing in the ring) I'm very outspoken about it and it can get me into very hot water (with the company).

"Then you never know where we're going. Everybody can be just so outspoken about taller guys, and guys like Randy Orton being the face of the WWE, the WWE Championship. I dare you to put me in a back alley with Randy Orton or someone like that. I guarantee I'm not afraid of someone taller."
