There have been rumblings that Dolph Ziggler might leave WWE for a while now and during a recent chat with Edge and Christian, the Showoff made it clear that he's extremely unhappy with his current position in the company. "I hate it," he confessed while talking about his frequent losses. "But also I’m someone who - I hate that I’m not the champion. I hate that the show’s not about me, because that’s the mentality you should have if you’re in the business."
The former WWE Champion went on to describe himself as a "gatekeeper" who puts over young talent but Ziggler sees a major problem with recent feuds like the one he had with Bobby Roode. "If I lose for eight consecutive months before [the new guys] show up, they’re no longer getting that pat on the back from me to go up a notch." Despite that, he says he still loves the business.
That doesn't mean he'll be sticking around, though. "I have a very short amount of time left to figure out if I want to do that again or if there’s something to reach for. All I could reach for is having fun-a– matches and tearing it down on the [non-televised] weekends, because there doesn’t seem to be a specific, great prize to reach for here that I can attain."
Ziggler insists he's trying to get a push but that seems unlikely so where does his future lie? Well, not necessarily on the independent circuit as Ziggler sees himself entering a very different world. "I’ve been doing things with Fox News and Fox Business that I really enjoy," he said, adding that he's about to have "a recurring segment" on the latter. We'll have to wait and see...
