One rumor that has been making the rounds in the WWE as of late is the future of WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler. The rumor states that Ziggler is complementing leaving the WWE when his contract expires in a few months.
Former WWE creative writer Court Bauer, who reports on backstage happenings on MLW Radio, remarked the following on Sunday’s show:
“Dolph’s deal is up in a few months and he has indicated informally that unless he gets a big push, he may leave like Mundo (former WWE Superstar John Morrison, who is known as Johnny Mundo in Lucha Underground).”
The rumor was started by Ziggler himself in a worked-shoot promo on Twitter prior to his Extreme Rules match against Sheamus.
TNA President Dixie Carter Dixie Carter, is aware of the rumor and planning to aggressively pursue Ziggler should he leave the WWE. She is looking to acquire another high-profile wrestler from WWE in hopes it will curb some of the negative press levied toward TNA and give the company plenty of momentum at a time when they desperately need it.
Some people in WWE feel that Ziggler would be making a big mistake to leave, especially when considering the volatility that exists with TNA and their questionable status on Destination America. Nevertheless, Ziggler, who turns 35 on July 27th, is said to be very frustrated in his role and is exploring some other options.
