Dolph Ziggler, a former World Champion, has just made his 500th appearance as a singles wrestler since his WWE debut as pointed out by f4wonline.
Ziggler was a participant in the Battle Royale for the Intercontinental Championship on last week’s Friday Night SmackDown.
Ziggler is now the first person to have 500 single matches on television in such a short amount of time. The only two stars ever to have come close to this record are Randy Orton and The Miz, who have 400+ appearances each.

He got his first win as a heel against R-Truth. WWE failed to utilize his talents even after a year. He was part of the 2009 Royal Rumble but got eliminated just under 20 seconds by Kane. Ziggler’s first taste of gold came when he won the Intercontinental Championship.

He was then part of a storyline that saw him in a relationship with Vickie Guerrero. He proceeded to go on title runs for the next three years.
His big call to action came in 2012 when he won the Money in the Bank ladder match. Ziggler successfully cashed in his contract and won the World Heavyweight Championship.
