At No Mercy 2016, The Showoff challenged The Miz for his Intercontinental Championship. It was a career vs title match for Dolph Ziggler and as predicted, he went on to defeat The Miz and became the new Intercontinental Champion in WWE. However, this could have been totally different if WWE had agreed to Ziggler’s request. Speaking at WWE After the Bell podcast, Ziggler revealed that he actually wanted to lose his career vs title match to Miz because he was in a desperate need for a break.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

He wanted to leave WWE for some time but to his dismay, Vince McMahon didn’t agree and booked him to win a match that he most certainly didn't want to.

Last year, the former WWE Champion was absent from programming for quite some time as he was busy doing stand-up comedy shows outside. But he is back now and is appearing almost every single week on SmackDown.
