According to Dave Meltzer, Dolph Ziggler is still under contract with WWE. As of this writing, the company simply doesn’t have any plans for him so he’s been keeping busy with his comedy shows. He said,
“He’s doing stand-up comedy. He’s still under contract. The thing is, they wanted to make him an agent, they wanted to take him out of the ring, they didn’t have any more ideas for him. He wanted to be a wrestler, he didn’t want to be an agent. So they kind of met in the middle where he’s still under contract and he’s using the time that he’s under contract to go around the country touring as a stand-up guy.“
