AEW Star Addresses Dolph Ziggler Being Released By WWE

WWE

An AEW star has commented on WWE’s decision to release Dolph Ziggler as part of the roster cuts at the end of last week.

With perhaps the exception of Matt Riddle the following day, Ziggler was arguably the biggest and most surprising name released, having been with WWE for nearly 20 years and being a former world champion.

Someone who was indeed surprised by Ziggler’s release was former AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Rosa said:

“That’s the one that I was the most shocked (by). First of all, he’s like the nicest human being. I’ve seen him a couple times at the airport and he remembers your name. He’s super sweet.

“For me, it was one of those guys that I never thought that (WWE) were going to let go because he always played ball

“For me, when I used to watch him, one of the things that I really enjoy as a worker is how impeccable his work was, and how great he makes all his opponents look the way that he sold, the way that he told the story.

“He seemed to have fun (with) what he was doing, regardless if it was little or not too much. I never really saw him being that type of person that would be complaining on social media about the lack of opportunities.

“Every time that he had an opportunity, he ran with it, and he did what he needed to do.”

There is obviously a possibility that, if he wants to, Ziggler could end up in AEW when his WWE non-compete clause is up.

His real-life brother Ryan Nemeth works for AEW, and Ziggler himself even appeared on Being The Elite not long ago.
