Dolph Picks A New Rookie - Why?

[John]

Dolph Ziggler won a Pros Battle Royal on Tuesday night's WWE NXT which allowed him to switch out his Rookie. Ziggler dropped Jacob Novak, who was later eliminated, and picked up Byron Saxton as his Rookie. Masters, who had Saxton, was given Novak. The feeling backstage was that WWE didn't want Dolph having the rookie who left, due to him getting a World Championship shot at the Rumble.
