Veteran WWE Star Wants To Leave The Business ‘Better’ Because They Were Involved

WWE

In recent years, former World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler has taken up a veteran role in WWE, being paired up against young up and coming stars to help them get experience,

Most recently, Ziggler seemingly began a feud with Austin Theory, laying out the United States Champion during a match with Mustafa Ali.

Speaking with Andy’s Hall Access, Ziggler was asked if he has embraced being a veteran in WWE in recent years.

He responded:

“My favorite thing is, if someone goes, ‘Oh, he’s an old vet,’ well, yeah, I can help people out backstage. I’m good at my job, and I’m comfortable enough, knowing how good I am, that I can help, but also going, ‘I’m not just here to help.’

“I also have this ego and have this talent that I go, ‘Damnit, I want to steal the show every night no matter where I am or if I’m on the card or not.’ I embrace that because I love the business and I have one damn goal. It’s not titles, it’s not a certain match or person or whatever, it’s to have this business be better because I was involved in it and when I leave, it’s better because I was a part of it. That’s the important part,”

Ziggler put his veteran mind to use earlier this year, when he headed to NXT for a few months, even becoming NXT Champion in that time.
