Dean Ambrose (real name: Jonathan Good) made his professional wrestling debut back in the year 2004 and is well-known to have been a huge pro-wrestling fan since his childhood -- with the sport being akin to a getaway for him, from the tough conditions he was raised in during his younger years. Ambrose wrestled extensively on the indie professional wrestling circuit and even made a few appearances in the WWE in the mid-2000s. The man finally signed a developmental deal with the WWE in 2011, and eventually debuted on the main roster as a part of The Shield alongside Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Well, ever since his main roster debut in the WWE, Ambrose has attained a considerable amount of success as a mainstay on the company's main roster shows such as RAW and SmackDown. Nevertheless, WWE recently announced that Ambrose will not be renewing his contract with them and that he'd be parting ways with WWE after WrestleMania 35. While Reigns and Rollins will indeed continue working for the WWE, "The Lunatic Fringe" of The Shield trio is undoubtedly bidding adieu to the promotion. Needless to say, ever since news of Ambrose leaving the WWE broke, the professional wrestling world has been rife with rumours -- citing varied reasons as to why the man has chosen to quit WWE at the height of his career. If one is to closely examine the evidence and statistical data available to the common public outside the WWE; we'd surely discover the following reasons behind this former WWE Champion's shock exit from the company. So, without further ado, let's take a closer look at the 5 reasons behind Dean Ambrose leaving WWE... #5 Due to the monotonous nature of his on-screen character in WWE As of late, Dean Ambrose's on-screen character has stagnated Show business is widely regarded as one of the most attractive, yet highly challenging industries in the world. The art of entertaining an audience is one that not many are capable of mastering. Regardless, the vast majority of our beloved professional wrestlers, including the top WWE Superstars, have spent years honing this very craft! Moreover, in the case of Dean Ambrose, the most obvious issue he has -- which is causing him to leave the company -- is the sheer monotony of his on-screen character. This is neither the creative team nor Ambrose's fault, particularly because most of Ambrose's best work has come working in non-PG environments such as the smaller indie wrestling organizations where he made a name for himself as Jon Moxley... 1 / 5 NEXT<doc-sep>Once you have subscribed we will use the email you provided to send you the newsletter.

Dean Ambrose is set to depart the WWE sometime in April following the expiration of his contract. Several sources, including Mike Johnson from PW Insider, say that he was offered a long-term multi-million dollar deal but all advances have been rejected by the former WWE Champion. It seems as though Ambrose wants some time away from the business and there's every chance he could return in the future after a leave of absence, and if he does the reaction will be incredible. Speaking to talkSPORT a few weeks ago, Ambrose's former tag team partner Roman Reigns said he was not surprised that the 'Lunatic Fringe' was deciding to depart the company. “He’s kind of always been preparing to get to a point where he doesn’t have to rely on anybody," said Reigns. "We’ve been fortunate enough to have a crazy rollercoaster ride and such a great job over the past few years and we’ve been fortunate enough to secure ourselves. “So, I’m not surprised because I know if he wants a break or needs a break he’s going to take it and do it his way." Ambrose's last television appearance came two weeks ago in a Falls Count Anywhere bout against Drew McIntyre on Raw - which ended up in a loss where he was Claymore Kicked off the stage with his upper half trapped between a guard rail. Brutal indeed, but he still turned up last week after Raw went off the air to save Seth Rollins from the wrath of Baron Corbin, but there were no plans for him on the show, and it turns out we may have seen the last of him. According to Cageside Seats' Rumor Roundup, Ambrose is not expected to appear on television going forward, and as for a WrestleMania 35 match, that seems unlikely at this point too. It may be a form of punishment from Vince McMahon because of Ambrose's refusal to sign a contract, or it may just be the fact that with so many matches to build towards there's just no room for him on the show. It'll be sad to see Ambrose go out in this manner, but when he inevitably returns in a year or two, the reaction may well be even bigger than his 2018 return which was roof-raising itself. News Now - Sport News<doc-sep>WWE.com Dean Ambrose will depart WWE when his current contract expires soon after WrestleMania 35, drawing the curtain on a seven-year main roster run that saw him become a one-time WWE Champion and star as part of the company's greatest modern stable, The Shield, and fans shouldn't expect to see him on TV again before it happens. This is according to Cageside Seats, who claim that 'The Lunatic Fringe' isn't expected to make any further televised appearances before leaving the promotion - WrestleMania 35 included. The report fits the tone of Ambrose's last Raw showing. Defeated by Drew McIntyre in a Falls Count Anywhere bout on the 11 March episode, the former Shield man was battered and beaten down by the Scot, and left in a broken heap as the night came to a close. WWE haven't acknowledged it as such, but it felt very much like a write-off. Advertisement Despite this, Dean remains active on WWE's house show circuit and has wrestled McIntyre several times over the past few weeks, meaning that if you want to see the Cincinnati, Ohio native before he departs, you're going to have to get yourself to a Raw live event.<doc-sep>
What's the story? As has been announced by WWE themselves, Dean Ambrose will not be signing again with the company. The Lunatic Fringe made it known in advance that he will not be continuing with WWE once his contract is up. This has led to a lot of speculation regarding Ambrose's possible match or role at WrestleMania, and it looks like there is some major bad news in store for his fans in that regard. In case you didn't know... Dean Ambrose is a Grand Slam Champion in WWE, however, has been severely underutilized by the company and failed to live up to his potential on many occasions. His run as WWE Champion was criticized by many and relegated him to the mid-card ever since. Even his recent heel turn could not save his dwindling career. Ambrose teamed up with his Shield brothers at Fastlane to pick up a win against Lashley, Corbin, and McIntyre; but suffered a brutal defeat at the hands of the Scottish Psychopath the very next day on RAW and hasn't been seen since. The heart of the matter As per the Rumor Roundup on Cagesideseats.com, Dean Ambrose will not be featured on WWE TV anymore and will not be working Wrestlemania 35 either. Unfortunately, this means that we have seen the last of Dean Ambrose in WWE -- at least for the near future. WWE will likely attribute his absence to the beatdown he received at the hands of Drew McIntyre, which will help add fuel to the feud between Roman Reigns and The former Intercontinental Champion. What's next? Roman Reigns will most probably be facing Drew McIntyre at Wrestlemania 35. As for Ambrose, we will just have to wait and see what his next endeavor will be.
