Dolph Ziggler has re-signed with the WWE and will look to end his career in the company

In a serious blow to rival promotions, Dolph Ziggler has re-signed with the WWE, signing a multi-year deal that will keep him exclusive to the Stamford, Connecticut-based corporation.

According to PWInsider, the deal was agreed upon weeks ago, before the speculation about him leaving even started. Fans were speculating over whether rumours that Dolph Ziggler’s contract with WWE was up and that he was not re-signing, alerting rival promotions in a quest to sign him, but as of now all those speculations have been put to rest.

Ziggler was interviewed by The Boston Herald to promote Ziggler’s recent stand-up comedy show. The full interview is at this link. Below are some excerpts:

Being into comedy longer than wrestling

“When I was a kid, like 5 years old, I used to watch the Johnny Carson show with Don Rickles. I loved the old ‘Saturday Night Live.’ I wrote jokes for almost 10 years before I got the courage to get up on stage and do five minutes.”

His dating life providing material for stand-up comedy

“I’m gone five or six nights a week working, so I don’t have much time to date, but when I do something hilariously awful usually happens.”

Re-signing with WWE

”I mean, it feels like I started here, I should end my career in the WWE. I feel like they like having me around and I love working here, so it would be really hard to walk away.”
