Over the weekend Dolph Ziggler told The Boston Herald the following when asked about re-signing with WWE:
“I mean, it feels like I started here, I should end my career in the WWE. I feel like they like having me around and I love working here, so it would be really hard to walk away.”
Ziggler then told The Chad Dukes Wrestling Show on Monday that he’s still negotiating a new deal.
“I’m thinking about it right now. I had a request for an upcoming contract that would end a few months from now, maybe two or three months from now, and they requested back what they would like, I countered another offer and we’re waiting to finalize some things. I love WWE and I can’t picture myself wrestling somewhere else but it’s also becoming now where that Wednesday and Thursday, I can’t just do that and get some outside live events for comedy and different movie and television options, which would only be to promote myself as a WWE superstar, to make myself a bigger star so I can advance more in WWE. So if I can’t find that happy medium, I might have to go away for a little bit.”
When asked about why he would leave he followed up by saying:
“What I wanna do is make myself a bigger asset to WWE. If it involves leaving, that would crush me but it might.”
