Over the past few months, there's been a lot of conjecture surrounding the big-bumping 'Show Off' of the WWE locker room, Dolph Ziggler. As things stand - at least according to the man himself - Ziggler still hasn't put pen to paper on a lengthy new deal with the juggernaut company, leading many to believe that it's only a matter of time before he departs.

Speaking during a recent spate of interviews, Ziggler himself remarked that people shouldn't look too much into everything he's doing outside of professional wrestling, because he's doing it to keep himself motivated and actually improve his performances under the bright lights afforded by World Wrestling Entertainment.

Looking to break into doing more TV shows and movie work, Dolph has also been turning his hand to the nervy world of stand-up comedy, but says he has enjoyed his recent appearances on the stage, and is eager to do a lot more. In essence, when asked the question about whether or not he'd be sticking around in WWE, Ziggler didn't really give a firm answer, instead repeating that his outside work aided his WWE performance overall.
