Dolph Ziggler has carved a praise-worthy career in WWE

Dolph Ziggler is one of the most decorated veterans on the current WWE roster.

The Showoff has a wealth of experience in Vince McMahon's promotion. During his time in WWE, Ziggler has soared both as a singles and tag team competitor.

As a singles superstar, Dolph is a former two-time World Heavyweight Champion, two-time United States Champion, and a six-time Intercontinental Champion. In the tag-team division, Ziggler has held the RAW Tag Team Championship on two occasions and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship once.

With such praise-worthy feats, Dolph has anointed himself amongst the very best this business has to offer. The Showoff is going strong and will be in action on the upcoming episode of RAW.

Ziggler will challenge Damian Priest for his United States Championship after winning the #1 contender's match via count-out on the latest edition of RAW. The upcoming contest will be one for the ages as Dolph looks to win his United States Championship.

Having said this, let's dive into the veteran wrestler's tag team career as we look at five WWE superstars Dolph Ziggler has teamed up with:


#5. Member of WWE stable – The Spirit Squad

Dolph Ziggler debuted in WWE in 2005 under the name Nick Nemeth. He was the enforcer and side-kick for Chavo Guerrero, who had a golfer's gimmick.

After splitting with Guerrero, Dolph became a member of The Spirit Squad in 2006. The stable consisted of Kenny, Mikey, Johnny, Mitch, and Nicky (Dolph Ziggler), a group of male cheerleaders. They were famous for working with Vince McMahon in his feud with Shawn Michaels and the reunited D-Generation X.

The Spirit Squad also held the World Tag Team Championship when Kenny and Mikey beat Big Show and Kane with help from the other Spirit Squad members.

#4. Former WWE United States Champion – Jack Swagger

In 2011, under the guidance of Vickie Guerrero, Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger aka Jake Hager (now an AEW star) came together as a WWE tag team.

The duo had memorable feuds with Air Boom (Evan Bourne & Kofi Kingston) and Primo & Epico but was unsuccessful in conquering the tag team championship. In 2012, they challenged champions R-Truth & Kofi Kingston but fell short again.

With tensions mounting between Ziggler and Swagger due to their unsuccessful championship pursuits, their partnership would dissolve in June of the same year.


#3 Reigning WWE Champion – Big E

Reigning WWE Champion Big E made his main roster debut as the enforcer for Dolph Ziggler in late 2012.

Langston helped Dolph win matches, providing the latter with the muscle needed to overcome his opponents. The two then formed a tag team managed by AJ Lee who, at the time, was in an on-screen relationship with Dolph.

Ziggler and Big E had their biggest moment when they challenged reigning champions Team Hell No (Kane and Daniel Bryan) at WrestleMania 29 for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The Showoff and The Powerhouse of Positivity were unsuccessful in dethroning the champions despite a valiant effort.

Their team, unfortunately, parted ways in July 2013 when Ziggler ended his relationship with AJ Lee, which led to Big E attacking Dolph. The two would subsequently compete against each other in singles as well as mixed-tag team matches.

#2. Former WWE Champion – Drew McIntyre

Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler allied in April 2018.

The team defeated Titus Worldwide (Titus O'Neil and Apollo Crews). The duo had epic feuds with partner Braun Strowman in a team known as 'The Dogs of War' against The Shield. Ziggler and McIntyre also became RAW Tag Team Champions when they beat The B-Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) on the September 3 episode of RAW in 2018.

They held the titles for a little over a month before losing to Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose on the October 22 episode of the red brand. The alliance between Ziggler and McIntyre ended in December, the same year the two had a series of matches against each other.


#1. Former WWE 24/7 Champion – Robert Roode

In August 2019, Dolph Ziggler found another partner in Robert Roode as they formed 'The Dirty Dawgs.'

The team tasted immediate success when they defeated the reigning RAW Tag Team Champions Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins at Clash of Champions in 2019. They would, unfortunately, lose the gold 29 days later to The Viking Raiders.

With that being said, The Dirty Dawgs became SmackDown Tag Team Champions in January this year when they beat The Street Profits. After the recent WWE Draft, Ziggler and Roode are back on RAW and are one of the dominant teams on the red brand.
