Cardona was understandably shocked about none of Ziggler's merch being available on WWE Euroshop since the two are good friends in real life. Ziggler has been with WWE for about 17 years now.

Despite having worked as a mid-card act for most of his career, he has had his moments in the limelight and is a 2-time World Champion. Here's Ziggler talking about his relationship with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon:

“There is a trust that so few of your favorites have that I have. It’s wild because, without complaining, I’m not the main event guy at the moment. And a lot of times, when it comes down to something special, I’m the guy just a match away or so. But I know from that relationship – you have to earn it. You gotta re-earn it every day, and I do. If I mess up, which I do all the time, I say, ‘I scr**ed this up. It’s on me. I will fix this for next time,’ Ziggler said.

Are you as surprised as Matt Cardona? Do you think Ziggler could've become a bigger star if he was handled in a better way by WWE?
