8 WWE Superstars who have allegedly asked for their release

#2 Dolph Ziggler

Will he show the world?

Now, here's a story that's been rolling on for years - the complex relationship between WWE and Dolph Ziggler. Many may remember the Miz rivalry that almost saw Ziggler leave WWE, which then resulted in Ziggler reportedly being given a $1.5 million dollar deal - something Ziggler stringently denied.

Ever since January, there's been speculation on Ziggler's future with the consensus appearing to be that he didn't sign a new contract, but did agree to a one-year extension.

Sportskeeda's own Daniel Wood reported two weeks ago that Ziggler may be on his way out of WWE and it has emerged that Ziggler had turned down the role of backstage producer for WWE.

Ziggler had a pretty big run in the latter part of 2018, but then seemingly disappeared altogether. He was used in the Royal Rumble match, then not even backstage at RAW the following night.

Dolph Ziggler has also released merchandise on Pro Wrestling Tees and is embarking on a comedy tour - suggesting he may be on his way out, whether via release or running down his contract.
