F4Wonline.com is reporting that television advertisements are listing World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler as “returning to RAW next week,” but the ads are actually out-of-date now. As of May 28th, Ziggler has not been medically cleared to return to active competition. As we reported, Ziggler has been sidelined for the last 3 weeks due to a concussion he suffered by the hands (or foot) of Jack Swagger.
There is always a possibility of Ziggler appearing on the program and cuttin a promo or interview, but he will not be wrestling inside the squared circle. It is uncertain as to when Ziggler will be 100% and ready to be back in the ring, and it is also uncertain if Teddy Long or Booker T will strip him of the World Heavyweight strap if he doesn’t get back and defend the title within 30 days, which has long been the “rule” for a champion.
