Dolph Ziggler is known as an American professional wrestler and stand-up comedian. He is most famous for being able to juggle his two professions of wrestling and stand up comedy.

His wrestling career at high school level saw him secure the National Championships twice and hold the school record for the highest number of pins in a career with 82.

On June 19, 2011, Dolph Ziggler won the United States Championship by vanquishing his adversary in a Capitol Punishment match and held it against Kingston in a title defense on RAW. He would eventually lose it to Zack Ryder.
