10 Things You Didn't Know About Dolph Ziggler

6. His Brother Was Signed To The WWE

Wrestling brothers are incredibly common these days - just look at Cody Rhodes and Goldust, for example. But few people will know that Dolph Ziggler's brother was once signed to the WWE, and even got as far as wrestling on NXT. His real name is Ryan Nemeth, but he wrestled under the name Briley Pierce whilst with the company, before his eventual release in 2013. In Florida Championship Wrestling, Pearce fought the likes of Big E Langston when he was just a rookie in developmental wrestling, and he even won the FCW Tag Team Championships with former Raw GM Brad Maddox on one occasion - before they were forced to vacate the titles due to Pearce suffering a leg injury. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g04d_KUhLA8 On NXT he had very little success though, and was perhaps most famous for doing backstage interviews throughout the programme. So although Ziggler himself is suffering from a lack of exposure and success at this moment in time, his brother fared even worse.
