Just how long will you let the pain last before you cry 'no more', Dolph? One of WWE's longest-suffering stars, Ziggler's current characters-copying gimmick hints that even WWE know there's nothing left for him to achieve. The guy's chances of becoming an established headliner have disappeared, and he needs a break.

Dolph leaving the company has been on the cards for years now. There was a brief glimmer of hope when he beat The Miz to become Intercontinental Champion at No Mercy 2016 (that pop was huge), but creative ruined that feel good high by turning him heel. Whoever suggested that deserves a slap, and Ziggler should be the one to deliver it.

It's obvious when watching him work on SmackDown that Dolph is tired of playing second string and star maker in WWE. No-one can blame him for that at all, because he should have been given a sustained chance at the top of the card instead of being consistently undermined or overlooked in favour of others.
