#2 Dolph Ziggler

The Show-Off has been criminally underused.

When it comes to talents who are undervalued, The Show-Off should make it to the top of everybody's list.

There isn't a single person in the WWE that hasn't been screwed over in terms of booking than Dolph Ziggler himself. Rumours always emerge every year in the wrestling world that Ziggler may leave the WWE, but this year they seem to be more realistic than ever.

There have been so many opportunities for the WWE to push Ziggler as their big face, but none of those chances was taken.

When Ziggler won his second World Heavyweight Championship belt on the Raw after Wrestlemania 29, it created one of the biggest reactions in WWE history as the entire arena had erupted in cheers that night.

But WWE then booked Ziggler to lose the title at Payback 2013 against Alberto Del Rio as he had only held the title for two months.

Another moment to pull the trigger on a huge Ziggler push was at Survivor Series 2014 when Ziggler was the sole survivor for Team Cena as they had defeated Team Authority with the help of Sting. However, The Authority was then later reinstated which made that huge win amount to nothing.

It's clear that Ziggler's passion is when it comes to the wrestling ring, but the booking of his character has been terrible despite the fact that he has won multiple championships which makes it highly likely that he may join AEW.

In AEW, there would be many opportunities for Ziggler to be the face of that brand, with potential rivalries against the likes of Neville and Hangman Page.
