Dolph Ziggler has signed a new deal with the WWE which is great news for all the Ziggler fans out there. I am guessing it’s a three year deal which is the WWE usual and Dolph will be getting written off WWE for his loyalty. Don’t worry though, he is actually going to be shooting a new WWE film titled, “6:42”.
Via Uproxx,
Zigs will leave the butt-wiggles behind (get it, ehhh??) to play Ray Fitzpatrick, a cop who is struggling to deal with his past as he races to rescue a child with a bomb strapped to their chest from getting blown to smithereens. He’ll be out ‘indefinitely,’ but shooting is scheduled for four weeks, putting him back sometime in mid-August prior to SummerSlam.
Ziggler is currently in a dead end program with Lana and Rusev so anything that will catapult him far far away from that angle is good news. It’ll be interesting to see how he does as an actor as I imagine he is excited about branching into movies.
