Dolph Ziggler was recently interviewed by Busted Open Radio. During the interview, he was asked about the news of Dean Ambrose leaving WWE.
For those living under a rock, Dean will be leaving WWE after his contract expires in April. This was confirmed by WWE in a statement that they put out.
Here is what Ziggler had to say about Dean leaving:
“It was very surprising to me. I don’t know too many people who are too close to him that would have any insight. I wouldn’t want to guess anything
.I didn’t see that coming. He’s always got something going on and is always in a prominent role, doing something great and he’s liked by the fans. He could just try to move on and do some other stuff. I can understand. It’s hard to read him sometimes.He’s a ridiculously nice guy and loves the business. Definitely does his own thing. Kind of in his own world a lot. I’m friends with his wife (Renee Young) and we talk all the time. But Dean and I, if we’re putting a match together, we talk, but otherwise….really friendly guy, loves wrestling, loves having a good time but definitely does his own thing. Maybe he’s looking to do his own thing some more.”
