Backstage news on why Dolph Ziggler was written off WWE TV

Dolph Ziggler being stretchered out of RAW

After much speculation and different stories from Dolph Ziggler himself, PWInsider has confirmed that Ziggler has indeed signed to a new WWE contract.

Ziggler is "out of action indefinitely" in the WWE storylines because he's going to Vancouver this week to star in a WWE Studios thriller titled "6:42." Dolph's character will be a cop named Ray Fitzpatrick, who has to overcome his past while dealing with a plot to blow up a child with a bomb strapped to their chest.

Filming is scheduled to go on for four weeks, which will put Ziggler back on WWE TV in mid-August before SummerSlam.
