WWE: 10 Things That Must Happen Before 2014 Ends

3. Dolph Ziggler Must Be Paired With Ric Flair

Ric Flair Dolph Ziggler At this time one year ago, Dolph Ziggler was one of the hottest babyfaces in the company in his case for the World Heavyweight Championship. However, after coming up short in his title rematch against Alberto Del Rio at the 2013 Money in the Bank event, Ziggler never returned to title contention. He briefly feuded with his ex-girlfriend AJ Lee and former heavy Big E before fading into obscurity for the remainder of the year. After all this time, it's mind boggling to think that WWE hasn't done anything of note with Ziggler. How could they let his tremendous talent go to waste is beyond me, but there's still hope. A pairing between Ziggler and Ric Flair seems like a natural fit, but WWE is hesitant to have it happen for some reason. Even Flair has said himself that he sees money in Ziggler as a top star and has requested to work with him, but WWE has turned down his request in the past. Flair is reportedly due back to WWE TV any time now and it's hard to think of another role for him on WWE TV that doesn't involve him being a manager for Ziggler. It'd be an excellent use of Ziggler's abilities and it'd see Flair doing something meaningful for a change. The pairing may not take Ziggler back to top-tier status right away, but anything is better than him feuding with Fandango for the millionth time.
