Dolph Ziggler has found success as an independent wrestler since leaving WWE. Having a long stint as the TNA World Champion in 2024, the wrestling veteran has also competed for promotions such as NJPW and Lucha Libre AAA since then. Still, JBL believes that WWE should have taken better care of him, so he never left the company.
The WWE Hall of Famer talked the career of Big Show and his versatility as a performer on the new episode of Something to Wrestle. Comparing Show to Ziggler, John Layfield commented on how WWE could have done better by the former world champion:
“I used to watch Dolph, and they put him out there with guys that just weren’t good workers because they knew Dolph could get them through. I called, really, all those matches, and I’d be in the production meetings, the creative-type meeting where [plans] was discussed. Creative was probably not decided there. Vince would decide some stuff, but most of it was somewhere else. But I’d be in there, in the production meetings, and I’d hear it, ‘Well, Dolph can do it.’ They knew Dolph was so good, it wouldn’t kill his heat, because he was so freaking good, they should have took better care of him, because he was so good, he was so valuable in so many different ways that you could stick Dolph out there in any situation, and Dolph would be fine.”
