Update: Dolph Ziggler to see neuropsychologist for evaluation

Chris Graham

Dolph_zigglerWWE superstar Dolph Ziggler’s latest concussion has him headed to a neuropsychologist for evaluation amid concern over his future in the ring with a history of concussions.

His symptoms improved today, said WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann, a day after Ziggler suffered his latest concussion, in a match against Ryback taped on Monday for “WWE Superstars.”

Ziggler missed some time after a serious concussion in May, and at that time, he said in an interview with WWE.com that he had suffered several concussions in the past.

With more attention put these days on the impact of concussions on the long-term health of athletes, WWE is taking this latest concussion suffered by Ziggler very seriously.

“He will be seing a neuropsychologist in Pittsburgh for further evaluation, and then his status will be day-to-day as his symptoms improve,” Amann said.
