According to sources, here is the latest on Dolph Ziggler’s status with WWE. His contract is expiring in the next few months, and people close to him have stated that he is considering exploring his non-WWE options when his contract ends. Ziggler has talked with people outside of WWE about his potential if he leaves WWE. There is interest in him from both New Japan and Lucha Underground, and TNA would also likely be a player to sign him.
There is a feeling that if he could work a deal with ROH/New Japan like AJ Styles and the Young Bucks, and then work the major UK events and or big AAA shows that he could earn upwards of $300,000-$400,000 a year. He would also have less road expenses as transportation and hotels will be paid for. He would also work fewer dates, but would likely have to work harder due to the high expectations of the New Japan and US Independent fans combined with the fact that he would have less restrictions on his work.
