WWE is currently going through a major transition as it enters a new era in 2026. Fans are witnessing significant changes on the roster, with several NXT stars making their main roster debut and returns from former superstars like Zack Ryder. Ryder recently made his comeback on the first episode of the blue brand this year, much to the delight of the WWE Universe.
Following Ryder’s return, former WWE star Jonathan Coachman took to social media to urge the company to bring back Dolph Ziggler. However, Ziggler has officially put rumors of a potential WWE return to rest by signing a new contract with TNA. In a video posted by TNA on their official social media accounts, Nic Nemeth (aka Ziggler) was seen signing a contract with the brand, expressing his excitement to compete for the TNA gold.
During the contract signing, Ziggler confidently stated his goal of becoming the TNA World Champion again, indicating that he may not be returning to WWE anytime soon but could make special appearances. This decision marks a new chapter in Ziggler’s career as he looks to make a mark in TNA Wrestling and pursue championship glory once again.
In a recent interview on the INSIGHT podcast, The Miz opened up about the difficulty of seeing Ziggler leave WWE, as he was one of Miz’s core group of friends in the company. Miz recalled the memorable matches and moments he shared with Ziggler during their time together in WWE, highlighting Ziggler’s contribution to elevating the Intercontinental Title during Miz’s reign. Despite the emotional departure, Miz acknowledged that such transitions are a part of the business.
As Ziggler embarks on this new journey with TNA, fans are curious to see how his career will unfold in the promotion and if he will achieve his goal of becoming the TNA World Champion once again. The wrestling world eagerly awaits Ziggler’s next chapter and the impact he will make in TNA Wrestling.
