Dolph Ziggler Reveals Why He Chose To Stay With WWE

Dolph Ziggler recently spoke with Scott Fishman of The Miami Herald to promote WWE 2K16, which you can pre-order now from Amazon.com and get The Terminator as a playable character. Here are some highlights of what Ziggler said about:

Why he chose to stay with WWE:

“My contract was coming up, and I was weighing a bunch of different option. I had a lot of outside offers to do some other things. Instead I decided to settle on doing the thing I love the most and working for WWE. WWE has given me an out where any days off that I have they allow me to work on outside projects. So it’s a win-win for everybody. I don’t miss any work. I get to keep doing what I love. Just like when it’s SummerSlam week, but I’m going to a comedy club to perform and the next day going to a theater to sneak in a couple of minutes because I don’t sleep and want to be the best performer I can.”

WWE 2K16:

“They make it so much more realistic, and I don’t know how. They literally do like a hundred body scans of us. It blows my mind when I see myself. Some years I see myself with better abs, and it’s not because of me. It’s in the game. So that tells me to go do some cardio to make sure I’m doing this right. It’s mind-blowing when you look at this game and see how realistic it is.”

Ziggler also discussed NXT “exploding” as a brand, why he thinks Tyler Breeze has major potential in WWE and more.
