5 potential replacements for Roman Reigns in a new Shield

#3 Dolph Ziggler

This may be Ziggler's last chance to break out and be noticed again!

It is hilarious when you think about it. Less than a year ago, Dolph Ziggler and The Miz were in a program that was described as the 'feud of the year' on SmackDown Live. Not long before that, he was part of the title mix, contesting against Dean Ambrose at SummerSlam 2016. Somewhere along the path, he lost his way and has never managed to recover.

His current gimmick of being a 'complainer' about other talents who are 'over', certainly seems rather stale and uninspired. The only way to resuscitate his career may be to make him part of a clique, such as The Shield, and put him into the mix again.

One wrong move ruined his entire WWE career - Watch Now!

Ziggler is far too talented an individual to not be booked on TV like he is right now. Yes, they are on different brands, but it's not like Ziggler is integral to SmackDown Live programming.
