I can't picture Ziggler leaving WWE and fucking with the indies. He has often referred to himself as a comedian who pays the bills with wrestling. He doesn't seem like the type to burn out in WWE and then go small time.

What more does he want than getting paired up with Lana to keep him around?

Dolph is probably sick of being paired up with people, he's hardly on his own, If it's not Lana, it's Vickie, it's Big E, he's dancing with the Spirit Squad.. Dolph likely wants a solo main-event push and WWE is not giving it to him.

But still, i won't miss him if he leaves.

Ok, I got two disagrees about Dolph & Lana. All I'm saying is, if I was paired up with Lana, I wouldn't complain! :21-1:

Me, neither, home skillet.

I don't know what I'd do to Lana, but I know it'd take two...maybe three seconds, tops.

He should scram. Mr. McMahon is full of it. To put it bluntly, I'm not convinced HHH has anything against Ziggs at all.
If Ziggs brought an idea to HHH that the latter lied, then HHH would have a hard time running that idea by his father in law and getting his approval.
What I believe should happen, then, is to give Ziggs a send off match on RAW against the likes of Seth Rollins or maybe even Roman Reigns (WWE Championship match possibly).

I can't imagine a fan who wouldn't be interested in a match of this caliber. Ziggs is an excellent plot device for an angle like this (even if he loses a match that is part of a much larger picture than himself)

Edit: The WWE Universe have invested enough in him not only for a send-off match but even a DVD down the line, especially if he develops a following with his comedy act.

Last night, a Twitter poster who was thought to have previously worked for TNA, claimed Dolph Ziggler will be heading to TNA once his contract expires with WWE.

“I know for a fact Dolph is TNA bound. It’s been in motion for months now,” read the Tweet.

According to WWE sources close to the situation, Ziggler is NOT headed to TNA when his contract with WWE expires, and while no other details were provided, the feeling is Ziggler will likely re-sign with WWE.

I would watch the fuck out of TNA if Ziggler had a Christian-like run there.

He seems too smart for this though. Who the fuck is he going to wrestle by the time he gets there? Everyone is on the way out.

Like, tna with only roode and ziggler, extend it to a 3 hour show and make them have 8 matches every week for the rest of eternity(tna would never die with a card like this)

An update:

According to PWInsider, WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler has opted to re-sign with the WWE. This comes after weeks of speculation regarding his contract status, and rumors that he may leave when it expires. Ziggler has vocally expressed his frustration in the past over his position in the company.

The two-time former World Heavyweight champion has been paired with Lana for the past month, working a program with the injured Rusev. Ziggler was also one of the primary characters on WWE's new show, Swerved, which premiered this week on the WWE Network. In addition to this, Dolph Ziggler has been heavily featured in the new ads promoting WWE's relationship with Tapout, which is set to kick off next year.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted this week that New Japan Pro Wrestling, TNA Wrestling, as well as numerous other promotions would likely be interested in his services, and he could probably make between $350,000-400,000 per year working a reduced schedule.

Dolph Ziggler actually joked about retiring during a stand-up comedy set at The Laugh Factory this week. The Observer also noted that many close to Ziggler said he was considering life without WWE recently, as well.

We'll provide more details as they become available.

He should Jericho contract for 12-18 months and try out his comedy/movie/tv possibility. He is awesome and should main event, but is injury proof. He can take as much time off as he wants and still come back better than most, and i'd like to see what he can do when given a chance, you know, since WWE has shown they don't be offering one anytime soon.
