Dolph Ziggler always has other irons in the fire and the WWE veteran was reportedly ready to move on from the company.
WWE let Ziggler go, along with over a dozen others, on September 21 and Fightful Select provided a little more clarity on the exit of “The Show Off.” According to a new report, Ziggler was ready to part ways with WWE years ago, but it was the company who wanted to keep him around. Ziggler actually kept getting talked into staying around with WWE with his current contract actually reportedly set to extend through next summer.
Ziggler, although seldom used recently, proved to be a valuable commodity. He helped to put over a growing star in Austin Theory as the talent was looking to re-establish himself as a credible heel. Before that, Ziggler went down to NXT to become NXT Champion and have a main event feud with Bron Breakker.
