A two-time former World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler's time with the title was mixed to say the least.

His first reign came in 2011, and lasted a matter of minutes, being awarded the title on SmackDown and losing it later to Edge.

After toiling in the mid-card, his second reign came two years later, cashing in Money in the Bank on the RAW after WrestleMania 29 to a warm reception by the crowd.

Despite an incredible moment, the Show-Off would quickly get injured, was unable to defend the title at the next pay per view, and quickly lost it the month after.

A part of the mid-card in the near nine years since, it's clear that the company have moved on from the Zig Zag man, who will never again be World Champion.
