Dolph Ziggler Reportedly Hasn’t Signed New Contract, Still in Talks

According to FOX Sports Australia, Dolph Ziggler has reportedly not signed the new contract many outlets, including ourselves, had reported.

Ziggler is an accomplished wrestler in the company, one that many feel they can depend on. The reports considered his new contract to be a $1.5 million guaranteed with bonuses for PPV buys, DVD and merchandise sales and other sponsorships.

Ziggler had the following to say on the contract:

“I would love to get into that more but based on the internet, they told you I’d re-signed and I have not.”

He answered when his contract expires to the best he could legally.

“Very shortly. We’re working on it now. There’s a deadline that’s approaching so very shortly. I have some options on the table to do some other things. I don’t take time off, I don’t like missing work and when I’m not there, I’m doing other things whether it’s FOX News, FOX Business, stand up comedy, improv, writing a book and a movie with my brother. I have a bunch of things going on and I don’t like taking days off and I don’t want to leave WWE but it’s great to have some options. I’ve asked before to go away for a little while just so everyone can forget I lose 99 times out of 100 and it’s never really come through, so I might have to do it on my own and see what happens.”

Ziggler mentions how he is perceived by many fans of all ages, given his win-loss record as of late.

“When I come to the ring I have people in their late 20s saying ‘here comes Dolph, we know he’s going to lose’ and then an eight-year-old kid going ‘Dolph always loses, it doesn’t matter’, now I’m not helping the company by being a great foil for the guy you’re rooting for. I’ve made a career out of losing 99 times out of 100 and still giving everyone that hope and I love it and live for it. There’s no one else in the business when can do that.”
