Real Reason Why WWE Wrote Dolph Ziggler Off TV, When He’ll Return & the Latest News on His WWE Contract Status

July 14, 2015

As noted, Dolph Ziggler is out of action “indefinitely” in WWE story lines following Rusev’s attack a couple weeks ago on Raw.

Ziggler being written off TV has fueled speculation that there might be contract issues between him and WWE, but that is not the case.

PWInsider.com has confirmed that Ziggler has indeed signed a new deal with WWE, and he was written off TV as he is currently in Vancouver shooting the upcoming WWE Studios movie “6:42.” The movie is a thriller, and Ziggler will play a cop named Ray Fitzpatrick, who has to overcome his past while dealing with a plot to blow up a child with a bomb strapped to their chest.

Filming of the movie is scheduled to last four weeks, which will put Ziggler back on WWE TV in mid-August and in time for the SummerSlam PPV.
