Ziggler Speaks on MITB Win, Who He Wants To Face at WM 29

July 23, 2012

WWE Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler recently sat down for an interview with The Trentonian, during which he spoke on a number of topics, including his MITB win and who he'd like to face at WrestleMania 29. Below is an excerpt:

I’m pretty good at getting through injury,” Ziggler said. “I pride myself on making the biggest impact and putting my body on the line… I was lucky enough to grab it [The MITB briefcase].”

Although, as Guerrero pointed out, “this opens up more doors for him,” Ziggler wants to respect his plans to face Zack Ryder, who rose to fame over the past year through his YouTube show, “Z! True Long Island Story,” at WrestleMania 29 in New Jersey.

If I’m World Champion, I’d rather be in the ring with Zack because he worked hard to be there,” Ziggler said.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
