WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler is stepping into the world of action movies with his very first WWE Studios film titled “Countdown.” But Dolph Ziggler isn’t the only WWE star appearing in the film. “Countdown” also stars Kane and features cameo appearances from Rusev and Lana.
Dolph Ziggler plays a character named Ray who is a cop that’s haunted by the death of his son. Ray defies the orders of his captain who is played by Kane when he goes after a madman that has kidnapped a young boy and rigged him with explosives.
USA Today has released the first clip from the film and it shows a pretty intense scene where Ziggler’s character Ray is working undercover and he ends up in a stand off. The movie will be released on April 5 and you can check it out along with a synopsis of the film below.
