Entertainment reporter Chris Van Vliet spoke with Dolph Ziggler this weekend at his home in Phoenix, AZ and was able to officially confirm that the former world champion is indeed “on hiatus” from WWE at the moment.
“I can’t really answer that. For now I am on a hiatus with WWE. It took me like 10 years to get a weekend off and this is it. So we’ll see where it goes from here. Like I said we have a handshake agreement which is different from what’s on paper. I’ve given everything and we’ll see if there is more for me to give, I’ll be happy to be a part of it.”
The 38-year-old athlete, actor and aspiring comedian has been with WWE for nearly fifteen years, and has recently been taking more time away from the ring to focus on creative projects outside of the wrestling world, such as his upcoming stand-up comedy set happening tonight in Phoenix immediately following the Royal Rumble — right down the street, in fact.
Speaking of the Rumble, while there has been a lot of public chatter about a possible Ziggler return in this year’s 30-man match, the Showoff himself has confirmed that he is not currently scheduled to be at the show.
Dolph also responded to reports and rumors that came out recently, claiming that WWE offered him a new role with the company as a backstage producer in order to keep him under contract going forward. While he said it might be something to consider “10 years down the line”, he is “very much not interested” in taking on such a role at this time.
“If WWE wanted to keep me around if would be to be in the ring. For now. Producing I could see happening 10 years down the line but I don’t know why I wouldn’t be doing some other stuff first. It’s a great thing and there are a lot of people who are good at teaching and giving back and I love pulling people aside or if they come up to me at work. Doing that full time and basically being in the best shape of my life, I wouldn’t be able to do it knowing that I could be like no let me just do this for you. One day down the line that could be something but I’m very much not interested in that.”
