5 Reasons Dolph Ziggler's heel turn is good for SmackDown Live

Dolph Ziggler has turned over a new leaf on Smackdown Live

#3 The fresh character is more interesting

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.
