Dolph Ziggler was reportedly told by WWE to not talk about AEW
https://t.co/MoUikzLufU
Ryan Nemeth revealed to Chris Jericho on Talk is Jericho that his brother got a "talking to" from the company for his anti-advertisement posts on social media.
"I think he got in trouble for tweeting so much...he would always anti-advertise for Dynamite by posting 'do not watch this show, this guy sucks' and it's [a picture] of me. 'Don't tune in to TNT at 8 pm tonight.' I think, after a few months, maybe he got a talking to," said the AEW star. [H/T Fightful]
Ziggler has not been one to shy away from speaking his mind and even showed his support to Sasha Banks and Naomi recently. He has been a key player in the company for a long time. It'll be interesting to see what direction the creative team has in store for him.
