Recently he was sent to NXT 2.0 to feud with NXT Champion Bron Breakker. The Showoff managed to win the title from Breakker at NXT Roadblock on March 8, 2022.

He successfully defended the title against LA Knight (now Max Dupri) on an episode of NXT. The veteran managed to defend the title once again in a highly-acclaimed match against Breakker at Stand & Deliver, thanks to an interference from Roode. However, his reign ended when he was defeated by Breakker on the RAW after WrestleMania, earlier this year.

Ziggler has not been seen on WWE television since his defeat against Bron Breakker.
