Released WWE star doesn't plan on returning like Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre was released by the promotion back in the day and had to work his way back to the company. Dolph Ziggler (Nic Nemeth) recently disclosed that he is not planning on returning to WWE and asked to be released.
Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta in an exclusive interview, The Showoff shared that he asked to leave the promotion and is looking forward to the second half of his career. Nemeth added that he plans on stealing the show wherever he performs.
"I don't have [thoughts] like, 'I gotta get back to WWE.' I asked to leave, and I wanna do a second half of my career where I do everything else but WWE because I've done it. I've been there. I wanna see what I can do on my own. It's like a Twilight Zone episode where the guy's at like the top of a company and he's got all the gold in the world. He goes, 'I wanna go back in time and I wanna redo it and do it all again from day one, put all the hard work in, and prove to everyone that I can do this again.' We're all gonna find out here, am I all show no go? Am I a phony that's been sitting around? No, I'm gonna steal the show every damn night." [7:24 – 7:59]
