Dolph Ziggler has been with WWE for 11 years but he’s never been more proud of a storyline than his current feud with The Miz.
“I am very proud of it, purely based on having some freedom in the ring and on the microphone,” said Ziggler. “We need to keep adding these pieces of real life into our characters.”
In addition to fighting over the Intercontinental title, the feud between Ziggler and The Miz—two 36 year-old veterans in WWE who grew up in Ohio—felt personal, real, and genuine. It also involved both sets of parents, Miz’s wife Maryse, and the evolution of Ziggler’s career with the return of former Spirit Squad members.
