There has been a lot of internal talk about Dolph Ziggler's future lately.

As noted, officials have discussed breaking Big E Langston away from Ziggler and AJ Lee but it sounds like he might stay with AJ. They are discussing this not because of a possible Langston face turn but because of a Ziggler babyface turn.

Vince McMahon has been changing his mind back and forth on Ziggler as a babyface but it's more when and not if. A lot of people in the company feel that Ziggler will take off huge as a babyface when the call is made. The fact that Ziggler is already popular in the New York market is said to be influencing Vince's decision.

Ziggler as a face would kill his career in my opinion. Vince GTFO.

If it's true he has a good point. My little mark of a brother, who passionately cried when Ziggler "retired" Jericho can't help but not still like him a lot. I don't know if he'd make a good face or not, but I'm sure he'll be over with the crowd heaps.

Although, I felt the same way with Miz. And his run hasn't turned out the best.

true. But to be fair Miz hasn't really done anything as a face yet. It seems like they finally have a plan for him so his face run might actually kick off now. Same could be done with Ziggler but I fear that we will lack top talent heels if he turns.

I'd prefer if he stayed heel, but I don't think it would ruin his career if he went face. I think he could make it work. He already gets a lot of pops.

I can't picture Dolph as a face but if it was done well I could get on board with it. Personally I can't see his current storyline going in the direction of face though.

How would being a face kill his career? His career is based around selling and his ability in ring. Being a face doesn't alter that.

He can actually stop jobbing and start winning matches if he ever turns face.

I think Ziggler has the versatility to be a quality heel or face. I'm not sure why they would think about changing it up now though. He seems like he is just now hitting his stride.

If this happens they'll probably do it after he becomes WHC. He can finally rid himself of AJ and Langston by turning on them, thus getting a huge pop.

New York market? Come on Vince, it's not 1983 anymore. Wouldn't want to see Ziggler as a face at this point, but then again, I wouldn't have aligned him with AJ and wouldn't even have brought up Big E from developmental now. Let's wait until McMahon screws him up and see if he can make it work.

Wrestling fans are the greatest trolls ever. WWE books him (and Sheamus, really) in a way to make him an unintentional top face, and the guy's so entertaining that the fans can't help but cheer him... so then they'd turn him face and he'll cut Cena promos with a fucked up moveset, and the fans will find him boring and boo the life out of him.

Well, it's not the wrestling fans that are bad...

I've said this numerous times now, but Ziggler's best role would undoubtedly be the tweener role, he'd get over as hell doing what he is just now basically, only with all heel traits removed (apologies if I came across as patronising there as I essentially explained what a tweener is). But you just absolutely know that Vince would give him the severely outdated superface character. Still, Ziggler'd make it work somehow.
