Former Money In The Bank holder Dolph Ziggler was interviewed by Chris Van Vliet where he talked about the hiatus he took this year. The Showoff took a break after Royal Rumble and returned recently to be slotted into a storyline with none other than the WWE Champion Kofi Kingston. Ziggler claims that he was hoping that his hiatus would be longer, he added:
“I was hoping for six months [when I took a break],” Ziggler told Vliet. “… And then I was like, ‘Well, three months would be great,’ and a couple of weeks in I was asked [to return] and I said that I can’t do it. With a little bit of Royal Rumble in there, we had a couple of weeks. But [it was] a solid two and a half months [off] which is more time than I had off in 14 years combined.”
When asked about which wrestler he wants to have a potential long-term storyline with, Ziggler replied AJ Styles as he felt that their technical abilities could very well be utilized. He stated:
“I would like to do something long-term with AJ Styles,” Ziggler noted. “Because we got to do a couple of live events and a couple of shows to where him and I said at the beginning, ‘We’re just going to go amateur wrestling at the beginning.’ So we just got to roll around to test each other out and feel it out.”
