This one is simply delicious from a fantasy perspective.

It'd be weird to discuss the thought of Dolph Ziggler departing WWE without noting how much money he makes there. WWE life has made Dolph a multi-millionaire, and he's still someone the writers turn to when they need to elevate somebody else. His recent efforts cementing Drew McIntyre are proof of that.

In that respect then, Ziggler will always have a gig in WWE. He's too good a performer not to, and he's one who can flip between heel and baby depending on what creative needs. That makes him invaluable, but there must be a part of him that's sick of watching others get a leg up the ladder whilst he holds the bloody thing steady.

Unleashing Dolph on AEW sounds fun. The matches he could have with Cody (for a start) would be creatively exciting for the man, and he'd be a nice addition to six-man tags with The Young Bucks at some point too. Then, there's a tasty bout with Hangman Page that'd have indy fanatics licking their chops.
