Dolph Ziggler has recently been trading wins with Miz. Before that, he was trading wins with Kevin Owens, although not ending up with the Intercontinental Championship. He won his feud against Tyler Breeze. That wasn't a big deal. It was the mediocre remains of what was once a big midcard storyline that also involved Rusev, Lana, and Summer Rae. Many fans say that storyline was horrible, but it was the last big thing Dolph Ziggler was a part of, in terms of storylines.
What should the WWE do with Dolph Ziggler. I don't mean just title feuds. He's obviously not going to be inserted in the WWE Championship drama. He doesn't have a partner to go for the tag titles. No need to go back to Kevin Owens. A feud against Kalisto for the United States Championship might lead to some good matches, but how likely is it that the WWE will run a face vs. face feud?
Of course, the WWE could just dump Dolph Ziggler in some multi-challenger match for a title. I think he should have something better than that. The WWE should be able to develop big storylines without a title being involved.
There are a ton of guys with no clear direction. Most of them will probably end up in some battle royal at Wrestlemania. You also have to take into account that there might not be enough time to develop a good feud for Dolph Ziggler now. Regardless, they can still start a feud that goes beyond Wrestlemania. I do not think this long-term feud for Ziggler should be against Miz. It just feels like a dull feud. How about Ziggler vs. Bray Wyatt? How about officially turning Ryback heel and having him get a feud against Dolph Ziggler? If he had some friends, The League of Nations might be an option. It's not just about having some matches. It is about developing a good storyline. And I think there is potential to develop a good storyline with Dolph Ziggler and some of these guys I brought up.
Dolph Ziggler had the opportunity to leave the WWE last year. He stayed. Was it the right decision? Money aside, he's not exactly being pushed very well. There are more men debuting and being signed all the time. That might make it even more difficult for Ziggler to stay relevant. The WWE will use him as a solid in-ring worker that can put on a good match, if not better, with almost anyone. But will he be used to his potential? If the WWE does not push him right, they might as well have let him go. Let some new talent with solid wrestling ability fill the void of Dolph Ziggler. Give that guy a fresh chance. Because it seems Ziggler is losing his freshness.
