WWE fans may be asking themselves, "Where in the world are Dolph Ziggler and Kane lately?" Okay, maybe they aren't since both wrestlers had gotten a little stale lately and were mired in questionable feuds. But both superstars were recently written off of TV in severe injury angles: Ziggler got a bruised trachea in an attack by Rusev, while Kane had his ankle shattered by Brock Lesnar. So where are they really? Making a new movie for WWE Studios, of course.
Ziggler, real name Nicholas Nemeth, and Kane aka Glenn Jacobs, are starring in the WWE's upcoming crime movie, 6:42. The WWE website basically reveals the film's entire plot, such as it is:
Ray Fitzpatrick (WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler) is a tough as nails narcotics cop working the beat in Los Angeles. After a drug bust goes wrong, Ray is forced to shoot his own partner, leading to his suspension from the police force. Before you know it, Ray is dragged right back into the thick of it when a mysterious package arrives at the station addressed to him.
The package leads Ray and his colleagues to an encrypted website where an unidentified kidnapper broadcasts a threat to Ray and the entire police force. The kidnapper, it turns out, is holding a young boy hostage and unless the police department can come up with a $2 million ransom, he’ll set off a time-bomb strapped to the child’s chest.
The department, led by Lt. Cronin (WWE Superstar Kane) comes up with the payoff and Ray is tasked as the bagman. When the handover goes down, Ray is forced to shoot and kill the kidnapper before he can set off the bomb and kill the child.
With 6 hours and 42 minutes left before the timed explosive detonates, Ray and Internal Affairs agent Julia Baker (Katharine Isabelle from "See No Evil 2") race against time to find the now deceased kidnapper’s hidden lair and save the child before it’s too late.
Ziggler, who used to date comedian and Trainwreck star Amy Schumer (their relationship became a part of her act for awhile), will be making his big screen debut. Kane was last seen reprising his role as Jacob Goodnight in the horror film, See No Evil 2.
