It's a new beginning for Dolph Ziggler - and that's not just from a pro wrestling perspective. Ziggler was one of several name talents released by WWE back on September 21. It's the first time he's been free of the WWE system since becoming a pro wrestler.
While his future in pro wrestling remains a question mark, Ziggler's immediate plans are still to stand in the spotlight, but alongside his younger brother, Ryan Nemeth.
Nemeth spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated to promote his and Ziggler's upcoming "Hunkamania" Tour, a comedy show set to take place in two notable cities on two particular dates.
The tour kicks off November 16 in Los Angles, the very same weekend and location of AEW Full Gear. The second show will commence on November 24 in Chicago, the same weekend and location of WWE Survivor Series in Chicago.

The AEW star tells SI that having two shows coincide with major wrestling events lends itself to more than just piggybacking.
“We time it around a big wrestling show, and that allows us to have surprise guests from wrestling to do a cameo, a surprise set, or to superkick us in the face.”
However, the added intriguing aspect to the whole show is that Ziggler no longer has an association with WWE and that could open up for some intriguing conversation on stage.
“You’ll be catching a different Dolph–a Nic Nemeth who is doing live comedy without being employed for the last two decades by WWE,” said Nemeth. “That is a very unique, first time ever sort of thing. It’s safe to assume he’s got some interesting new material.”
