WWE did release a statement on their website. I just find the situation weird cause I cant remember when WWE had ever announced contracts expiring months before it does. Just the wording of their statement makes it sound more storyline Didn’t catch that, but yeah it feels like it’s all storyline. It’s gonna be Ambrose vs The Authority since Roman isn’t there to do it anymore. He’s always going on about being held back so I feel that he’s about to shift the blame to Triple H and The McMahons. Maybe he’ll threaten to leave the company like CM Punk did Yeah I think they might go with Triple H vs. Ambrose at WM

I'm sure I'm alone on this, but I honestly feel things were going great till the Austin podcast. And IMO Austin did Dean absolutely no favors that night. From that moment on, Dean seemed to be on the back burner as far as management goes. And in turn, he seemed less interested. If there was ever a time to use the phrase “backstage heat confirmed” this is it lol

Still think that this is legit,Maybe the WWE announced he was leaving because they got really pissed off that he turned down their rumored 5 year 10M+ deal and with him leaving in less then three months decided to just send him home with them not having any real big plans for him at Wrestlemania.With the rumored card already having Rousey/Charlotte/Lynch,Rollins/Brock,Triple H/Batista,Daniel Bryan/ ? and god knows what else probably didn't have and important role to fill. Just hard for me to believe this is all a big work to turn Dean back into a main eventer and one of their bigger acts moving forward.He's been booked as a mid card pretty much since his WWE Title reign and as others stated his career seem to turn south after that interview with Stone Cold.on that interview seemed that he had a lot of "CM PUNK" in him in terms of his attitude and not liking the WWE system and thinking he was clearly better then everyone else.

From that moment on, Dean seemed to be on the back burner as far as management goes. And in turn, he seemed less interested. While I felt that booking let him down multiple times before the podcast, I agree 100% that Austin helped to kill his main event career in the WWE. Dean is a chill guy is real life. He’s private and only created social media accounts because he was told to but never posted on them. Knowing this, the WWE put him on the Austin podcast where Austin tried to get him to talk about his childhood. Dean, clearly uncomfortable with the whole thing, didn’t really give an answer since it’s no ones business. Austin kept prodding like an a** rather than move to new subjects and the rest is history.

The Superstars are spring cleaning themselves this year. Weird.

One less exceptionally boring member of the roster. As a human being, I wish him well; as a wrestler, I bid him good riddance. the theory of Ambrose being boring is off, especially since he was over as hell a long time before the turn. He was very over in 2015, but that's just because everyone hated Seth so much and Dean was the one terrorising him in my opinion. Also because he wasn't Roman but still had the rub of having been in the Shield to make him seem cool. From the first time I saw him, I thought "this fella is not my cup of tea", and he's never done anything to persuade me to change my mind.

Never cared much for his character - always felt like a poor mans Brian Pillman to me. Between him and Ziggler leaving - WWE loses absolutely nothing. And if he and Ziggler are 2 of the 6-8 only talents AEW are interested in (according to Jericho), then AEW is already on the wrong path... (and yes I know a lot are going to disagree with me, just my opinion)

Not His fault they tried to Cenaize him with stupid jokes and slime in Seth's MITB Briefcase.

I think it's all a work. WWE have had a lot of high profile departures on good terms that have never been announced like this. Plus there was the segment with HHH last night, and his interrupted promo. Also all the websites speculating him leaving really only started this morning. Could have been "leaked" because it's supposed to be out there.
I think we're getting Summer of Punk 2.0: Winter of Ambrose

Yeah it's surprising that they'd push Ambrose back into the main event scene, but despite what everyone's saying, it would be a blow regardless to lose a former member of The Shield, as that is/was this era's defining faction. WWE just may be revamping him in a new "reality"-based way to swerve us like never before. I mean did anyone predict R-Truth would not only win, but also successfully defend the US championship on the same night on SD?

I think this is WWE's direct response to the media attention AEW's situation with Kenny Omega and their other signings. Ambrose gets a vacation now and returns a little after Reigns returns.

I wonder what Dean F'n Ambrose's reaction would have been on here?

He was never THEE guy, but he was a high profile main eventer, huge merch seller, and extremely solid talent that would have drawn tons of viewers to wherever he went after.

It’s more like if Christian had left in 2005. Dean’s a former WWE Champ. Christian, despite as great as he was, left in 2005 as a midcarder. He dabbled in the main event a few times but was never portrayed as a true main eventer due to booking. He had a few IC Title reigns but no where near the singles accomplishments Dean has currently. I agree that Dean leaving is like Edge or Orton leaving in 2007-2009. A former world champ in the prime of his career that was never treated as a true face of the company but is always over enough to stay relevant.

WWE doesn’t really have main eventers anymore, outside of Brock Lesnar. It’s been that way for years. Guys will get a few months at the top but they’ll be in the US/IC title mix (if that) just as often. Wyatt, Balor, Reigns, Cena (the last year or two that he was really there), Rollins, Ambrose, Jinder, Bryan, Owens, Braun, and so on. The tiers don’t exist like they used to (and should). Nobody full time on the male roster is really a main event level wrestler the way that Batista, Cena, HHH, HBK and co were in 2005. Jack Swagger was a world champion too. WWE didn’t shut down when he left. If Ambrose goes elsewhere, he’ll get to prove how good he is outside of WWE. But he’s not much of a loss to WWE at this point. Nobody is, except Rousey, Becky and Charlotte.
