World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler is being advertised for June 1st and 2nd’s WWE live events, but as we reported earlier in the week, he is not medically cleared to wrestle again. The ads claim that Ziggler will accompany Big E Langston to the ring for his matches against former Word Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio. The Wrestling Observer has reported that Ziggler will be tested again possibly before June 3rd’s Monday Night Raw in Hartford, CT. If cleared, he can start wrestling immediately.
Ziggler has not competed in a WWE ring since he suffered a concussion during the May 7th Smackdown tapings. Ziggler was kicked in the head during a spot with Jack Swagger, and has not appeared on live TV or at any WWE events since. Rumor has it that the WWE wants to have Ziggler compete against the #1 Contender for his World Heavyweight Championship, Alberto Del Rio, on live TV, and then have “the Show Off” begin a feud with Langston, turning Langston babyface in the process.
