Editors’ Choice: 6 Seth Rollins replacements (Dolph Ziggler)

It’s hard to fathom the neon-clad Dolph Ziggler trading in his pinks and lime greens for The Shield’s paramilitary black, let alone downplaying his bombastic nature to fall in line with The Hounds of Justice’s serious, business-first approach. Those details aside, The Showoff would nonetheless fit in nicely with Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns should they ever want to bolster their ranks in a post-Seth Rollins era.
Much like The Architect, Ziggler is a versatile ring mechanic who’s more than capable of rousing the WWE Universe to its feet with crazily athletic moves. If Reigns packs the power and Ambrose brings the unpredictability, then The Showoff’s flash would balance the team dynamic.
