Dolph Ziggler reveals his real-life backstage equation with on-screen partner Bobby Roode

Dolph Ziggler is undeniably one of the most talented in-ring performers to ever step inside the squared circle. Unfortunately, however, the former World Champion has been stuck in the mid-card for the past few years and it looks like The Showoff has become comfortable in his role as an enhancement talent.

Even so, Ziggler managed to win the RAW Tag Team Championship earlier this year with his tag team partner Bobby Roode. The two have been drafted to SmackDown and recently won the tag team battle royal at Survivor Series kickoff.

Talking to The Mirror UK, Ziggler revealed his real-life equation with Bobby Roode:

I can’t say we’re the greatest of all time because we’ve only really had a couple of weeks of working together. When Bobby Roode shows up from NXT, of course he fought me because that’s what you do when you show up from NXT, which I get. But immediately I recognized, he understands our style and what’s happening, he’s really smart and has a brain for this, I think this is going to be a blast, and it was. We became friends and started texting, and there’s only a handful of those people that on a regular basis I text.

While Ziggler and Roode seem to be part of King Corbin's entourage, we hope the duo manages to win the SmackDown Tag Team titles soon.
