Dolph Ziggler's time with WWE has been all about ups and downs, with The Showoff starting his journey with the company in 2004. He became a part of the Spirit Squad a little while later, and the group of young men brought a special sense of positivity, one which was recognized and appreciated by millions of WWE fanatics.
Upon dissolution, all men went their separate ways and after 15 long years, the only one still associated with the company is Ziggler. His storybook career has produced some glorious moments and it won't be a far-fetched thought to say that the vibrant Superstar will someday find his way to the prestigious Hall of Fame.
The Showoff has a special zeal, a raw unfiltered passion for the sport, a passion that is visible and truly commendable.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Ziggler has tremendous potential and not many people will argue with that. The man possesses qualities that are rare to find and certainly deserves one last singles push. He is currently involved in a feud against Roman Reigns, with Baron Corbin being the prime adversary of the Big Dog while Ziggler accompanies The Lone Wolf on his misdemeanors.
However, The Showoff deserves a lot more, and here we list down 4 reasons why one last singles push is a must for Dolph Ziggler.
#4 He can sell anyone
Dolph Ziggler is the living embodiment of everything great about WWE! The Showoff is an immensely talented performer and avid fans of the company will agree that he has the potential to sell anyone.
He makes his opponents look great, has the potential to deliver spectacular matches with almost anyone on the roster, and above all, carries an attitude that flawlessly corresponds to his character.
For example, at SummerSlam 2019 we saw Ziggler collide with Bill Goldberg in what was yet another squash match for the latter. The match didn't offer much to be considered as a world-class bout, but the post-match altercation between them proved why Ziggler is such a valuable asset to the company.
The Showoff made Goldberg look dominant again, something not many WWE enthusiasts would've predicted. Ziggler's potential will enhance the singles division, and that's where he belongs.
#3 Possesses majestic mic skill
To prosper as a singles Superstar in WWE, a performer needs to excel at a lot of things, including the ability to deliver exhilarating promos. Possessing incredible mic skills is a gift, one which doesn't come very often!
Numerous Superstars have come and gone, and it's fair to say that the ones who handled the mic well were the ones who thrived. Dolph Ziggler's top-notch mic skills have paved the way for some fascinating rivalries in the past, and will certainly do so in the future as well.
One of the major reasons why his feud with The Miz is often reckoned as one of the finest mid-card rivalries of all-time is the fact that both the men were incredibly brilliant on the mic, and that kept the fans glued to their seats. Ziggler would get a lot of opportunities to exercise his immaculate mic skills in a singles run.
#2 Has the skillset worthy of the main event picture
There's no denying the fact that Dolph Ziggler is one of the most gifted performers on the roster. His in-ring prowess is second to none, and The Showoff rarely delivers an unimpressive performance.
An exuberant performer who leaves it all in the ring, Ziggler has a plethora of tricks up his sleeves. His feuds with the likes of The Miz, Seth Rollins, etc yielded numerous mind-boggling moments, as ardent fans enjoyed every bit of The Showoff's genius inside the squared circle.
The 6-time Intercontinental Champion's most memorable performance came at Survivor Series in 2014 when he single-handedly took Team Cena over the line in their battle against the Authority. The Showoff was utterly stupendous that night and has been so throughout his career. His performance left the heels - Triple H and Stephanie McMahon baffled.
To sum up Ziggler's phenomenal skills in the squared circle, it's sufficient to say that he's someone who makes pro wrestling look real!
#1 Carries kayfabe to perfection
Ardent followers of WWE will agree with the fact that the company is going through an unstable phase where numerous things look a bit complicated. The company which rode on the kayfabe bike for decades has somehow lost its charm, and not much emphasis is laid on the old-school face vs heel storyline these days.
In these lackluster times, a dynamic personality is direly needed, someone who'll get the WWE Universe involved, engage millions of supporters in the storyline, and above all portray a character in the most appealing yet authentic manner. Looking at the requirements, Dolph Ziggler superbly fits the bill.
The Showoff has impressed in his heel persona, which has seen him torment Roman Reigns with Baron Corbin by his side. WWE creative should push for Ziggler's singles run because that will be best for business!
