#3 Switching up his in-ring attire
I will give credit where credit is due that Dolph Ziggler has done a decent job of changing up his look over the years, from growing his hair out to sporting longer tights starting in 2015. However, his current image is atrocious, and the “I wish this were the '80s” vibe he gives off hardly makes him look like a credible threat.
The trunks he used to wear were a better look for Ziggler, as well as the bleached-blonde hair that helped him stand out and look like someone you would want to see get beat up. The first step in coming across differently as a character is dressing differently, which he has yet to do.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
The Usos' heel turn late last year was so refreshing because they went above and beyond in ditching everything that had made them likeable. Ziggler must do the same in order for his heel turn to be successful.
