Dolph Ziggler was a recent guest on Busted Open Radio where the “Show Off” commented on the WWE’s announcement that Dean Ambrose would not be renewing his contract and will leave the company when it’s concluded. Ziggler admitted he was surprised to learn of Ambrose’s departure, but understands someone wanting to move on and do other things.
Yeah, that was very surprising to me. I don’t know too many people who are close with him to have any insight, I really wouldn’t want to guess anything, but, yeah, I did not see that coming. I thought, ‘That guy’s always got something going on with WWE. He’s always in a prominent role, doing something great, he seems beloved by the fans.’ So, yeah, I did not see that coming. Some people like to move on and do some other stuff, I understand.
Ziggler would then give some insight on Ambrose, commending him for loving the business, but claiming that he just needs to do his own thing.
A ridiculously nice guy. He loves the business, he loves wrestling. Definitely does his own thing. He’s kind of in his own world, a lot. I’m friends with his wife, Renee Young, but Dean and I…I mean, if we’re put into a match together we would talk, or something…but otherwise. Really friendly guy, loves wrestling, loves having a good time, but definitely does his own thing and maybe he’s looking to go do his own thing some more.
