This. Wwe is going to announce his departure 3 months ahead of time? Come on. Also Wade Keller’s source is “a wwe colleague” Garbage. |

I would hope the next figure would be the super short fade he has had for a little bit but knowing Mattel they probably scanned him when he first got his hair cut and it was definitely less flattering.

Right. No reason they wouldn't have already started production on an updated Dean If anything, as a last resort they could just brand him as "Renee Young's Husband" "FIRST TIME IN THE LINE" |

I love that the initial reaction of him possibly leaving is, "oh no, the figures!" It was the last thought on my mind, I've been trying to process it all day and just going over what will happen when he's gone and an updated figure is one of them. Dean Ambrose being gone is arguably the biggest loss WWE has had since Kurt Angle. It's not like Punk, Ambrose has been in the top three guys in the company for nearly a decade. If the reports are to be believed, he still wants to wrestle and he'll end up somewhere else, which is even worse for WWE. |

Probably not the place to discuss this, but what the hell. 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

What is Jon Young doing at All In: Double Or Nothing? Business just about picked up...

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)

Back in The Shield days, it looked as though Ambrose would be the break-out star of the group - but while Reigns and Rollins have gone on to be genuine main-eventers, Ambrose has never quite made it or caught on. If he does leave, I don't think it will be much of a blow AT ALL to WWE... he has only really been treading water lately anyway.
If it IS a work, then Ambrose will probably be in some high profile angles/storylines for the next 3 months... if it's not though, he'll fade into the background, so he will hardly be missed when he goes (WWE often de-pushes someone if they know they're on their way out...).

I thought it was very odd that WWE confirmed he won't be resigning. I'd have thought that was information they wouldn't release.
But he had the showdown with Triple H on Raw, next day he's 'leaving'. Maybe the two incidents are linked and they're gonna do a Wrestlemania match?
It would be a shame if they didn't get a heel Ambrose figure out, I love his current look, even if he's not had a great run since turning

If he is leaving, Mattel will be able to release any figures in production.
I honestly hope it's legit. I'm really not a fan of using media for some sort of worked shoot angle. It feels very Russo WCW to me if that is what's happening.

To be fair (& honest), Reigns is ONLY a "genuine" main eventer because the WWE machine kept ramming him down our throats. Not cause he got there on his own. |

Reigns and Rollins weren’t given exclusively hokey gimmick after hokey gimmick. Other than sufferin succotash they were both booked as high level stars while Ambrose was in a bunch of comedy stuff or being blown up by a TV |

That's with literally everyone that's pushed No. Not at his level. Not even close. He had the rocket strapped, loaded with gas, lined with gun powder, tied down to space shuttle and hooked up with NOS for good measure. |

I think he's had too many figures as it is. And they usually peg warm.

Its a work if he continues appearing on tv. If he's written off it might not be unless they were so confident that him suddenly appearing at or after Wrestlemania would be worth just paying him to do nothing for 3 months. Its too soon to be 100% certain either way.
