At Extreme Rules, the World Heavyweight title will not be defended since Dolph Ziggler is out with a concussion which wipes the triple threat ladder match off the card.

The other two Superstars who were supposed to be involved in the same match – Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio – will however wrestle in an I quit match on the pay-per-view to determine the number one contender for the World Heavyweight title.

Ziggler suffered a legit concussion last week during the Smackdown tapings when Jack Swagger kicked him in the head. He was later diagnosed with retrograde amnesia.

WWE splashed the news all over Twitter and WWE.COM late last night as Alberto Del Rio defeated the Big Show on Smackdown to become the new World Heavyweight champion.

The tapings were held in Miami, Florida, yesterday, the same place where Del Rio received a massive ovation the night after WrestleMania when he interrupted Sheamus. The program is set to air Friday night on SyFy.

Del Rio battled Big Show in a Last Man Standing match in the main event of the show which also had The Rock coming back to Smackdown for the first time since he left the company almost 10 years ago.

This is Del Rio’s first run as a World Heavyweight champion having previously been the WWE champion on two other separate occasions.
