10 Candidates For WWE’s Next Bizarre Push
4. Dolph Ziggler
Recently tied down to a new deal, the very old-feeling Dolph Ziggler will be kept occupied for the foreseeable future, warranting an entry on this list.
You don't tie a performer to a contract and remove them from TV. Well, WWE does this with Tye Dillinger, the Colons, the Ascension, and virtually the entire United Kingdom division, and they did it for no rhyme nor reason with Dolph Ziggler himself throughout December and January, but they probably won't do it again. Probably.
Bizarre is probably the only word to describe the recent plight of the Showoff WWE barely shows on TV, but was inexplicably considered a WWE Championship "Opportunist" at Fastlane. He forfeited the U.S. Title for reasons that remain unfathomable. He cosplayed as various legends and modern personnel to get a rise out of Bobby Roode. He boasted about being the "best in-ring performer in WWE history," a rib if ever there was one, and still signed up for more punishment. He wrestled as the lone heel in a handicap match earlier in 2017, too. Everything connected with Ziggler is bizarre.
Which in all likelihood means we're in for another "I'm the best this company has to offer" retread, a major loss, a rinse, and a repeat.
