It\u2019s nice to take a little break and come back fresh. Not matter when or no matter what I\u2019m doing, I think it will be nice.

Some people\u2019s jobs are to speculate. So, I can understand that. I\u2019m still excited to be in the ring. I still do the live events and have a blast. I\u2019ve been working with the likes of Nakamura, which has been really fun.&#8221; Read the full interview at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelguidemag.com\/tv-news\/2017\/08\/22\/catching-wwe-superstar-dolph-ziggler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Channelguidemag.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> Here&#8217;s hoping that Ziggler is throwing out a red herring.
