Was Ziggler being genuine, or was he just in character?
Over the period that he spent in the SmackDown Live locker room, Ellsworth forged enduring relationships with the rest of the SmackDown Live roster. It was surprising, then, to see this Tweet from SmackDown Live Superstar Dolph Ziggler.

everyones favorite underdog, quietly & humbly lived his dream on tv, gave others hope, did what was asked, made friends along the way & almost became WORLD CHAMP? Gross! You are what is wrong with pro wrestling @realellsworthGood riddance!ps I’m taking back MY finisher #Duh
We have reason to believe that Ziggler was merely playing his gimmick in his Tweet and not being serious. This is because he retweeted a post from Ellsworth about independent bookings following this Tweet. Ziggler's current gimmick showcases him as a disgruntled employee who is grouchy because the WWE Universe appreciates style over substance.
Let's hope Ziggler does not follow suit soon afterwards. There have been departure rumours, for a long time now.
