10 More Superstars That Will Follow Dean Ambrose Out Of WWE

8. Dolph Ziggler

The lack of response to Dolph Ziggler's Royal Rumble appearance was possibly a sobering and damning one for the 'Show Off'.

Ziggler had informed the world that he'd not be entering this year's clash, perhaps in hope of enhancing the shock and surprise when he made his way down the aisle. As it turned out, fans either hadn't heard the news or - worse - didn't give a solitary sh*t.

The spell in which Dolph Ziggler carried the hearts of the entire online community as well as the WWE midcard came to an end right as an improving NXT system began flooding the shows with countless other appealing characters and objectively better wrestlers. He stands today as a long-standing member of the roster when the position carries with it prehistoric stink rather than prestige.

When The Undertaker made it to ten years with WWE, an entire pay-per-view Championship match was heralded as a celebration of his "Decade Of Destruction". Should this be applied to Dolph, it could only be in context of how badly neglected he was creatively before an overdue exit.
