Predicting The Future Of Every Released WWE Wrestler

1. Dolph Ziggler

Promotion: AEW or N/A

Why There: Did Dolph Ziggler gradually fall out of love with pro wrestling? That's a question only he can answer, but the 19-year company veteran did become less of an ongoing concern in latter years (that NXT Title reign aside). On socials, he always seemed more keen to promote stand up comedy and other projects first and foremost too.

This writer's guess? Dolph hasn't fallen out of love with wrestling, but instead had sod all left to achieve in WWE. Perhaps leaving will breathe new life into his career and lead him to AEW. It's either that or a spell out of the biz, presumably. Ziggler has enough going on outside wrestling if he'd rather leave it there.

A few choice cuts vs. Kenny Omega, Darby Allin and others on the All Elite side would be sexy though.
