Backstage news on why Dolph Ziggler was written off WWE TV
After much speculation and different stories from Dolph Ziggler himself, PWInsider has confirmed that Ziggler has indeed signed to a new WWE contract.
Ziggler is "out of action indefinitely" in the WWE storylines because he's going to Vancouver this week to star in a WWE Studios thriller titled "6:42." Dolph's character will be a cop named Ray Fitzpatrick, who has to overcome his past while dealing with a plot to blow up a child with a bomb strapped to their chest.
Filming is scheduled to go on for four weeks, which will put Ziggler back on WWE TV in mid-August before SummerSlam.
