Dolph Ziggler On When He Plans To Retire From In-Ring Competition

Dolph Ziggler is a WWE veteran at this point in his career, and Ziggler is still going strong. He’s currently one half of the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, and he shows no signs of slowing down.

But sooner or later time catches up to everyone, and recently during an interview with Dayton 24/7 Now the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion was asked how much longer he plans to wrestle.

According to Ziggler he doesn’t have a time frame in mind for retirement, but he noted that he will reassess his career in 2025.

“It really depends because no one gets more frustrated at work than me but in a positive way. When I figure out what’s going on and I go, ‘Okay, I can make this happen. I can get this done today.’ I’ve been very fortunate injury-wise. I’ve had two concussions that we took our time and got to go through every protocol that there was and then some and that’s over 15 years and everything else, I’ve been very fortunate to be always ready to go. Hell, I’m the guy that usually if someone gets hurt, they throw me into the world title match so I’m always ready to go no matter what and I love being that person who’s so prepared and so ready to go that I can be in a tag team title match, I can be in a world title match, I can be in the opening match and it could be the best thing on the show so, I don’t know exactly — there’s no time frame. I’m very lucky. WWE wants me here for the next 10, 20 years, let alone behind the scenes afterwards. So I will judge it every few years. I say give it [until] 2025 and then we either start toning it down or maybe I just wanna make sure my body can always go. If I can’t go 100 percent, I can go 99 percent, I won’t be okay with being in the ring.”
