No more plucky babyface, now he’s just an angry heel

Ziggler has been more interesting ever since failing to win the WWE Championship from Dean Ambrose this summer. He’s been fired up, excited and very motivated. His character had some doubts, obviously, but as a performer, he put on some of the best shows of his life both in the ring and on the microphone.
That was great for him, as it became a career resurgence, but after losing the Intercontinental Title that character was going to ebb.
Ziggler hasn’t been a bad guy for a number of years now, and the anger he is showing is incredibly fresh. It makes him more interesting and it will make SmackDown Live as a whole more interesting because it allows for the creation of new match-ups.

About the author
Nicholas A. Marsico
I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.
I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
