Dean Ambrose was not doing anything special on WWE programming until The Shield came back together. His current position in the company has created a major buzz in the pro-wrestling industry, overall. It was really surprising to see WWE announcing that his contract is coming to an end on April. Following that, he is leaving the company.
WWE trying to prevent Dean Ambrose from leaving
This has released major speculations all around the industry. Dean Ambrose has been one of the cornerstone names in the company. So no wonder that the fans were shocked to learn that he is over with his WWE career. Many believe that it was the sponsor’s pressure that WWE had to announce this departure since one of the major superstars was not happy with his deal with the company.
Others just think that it’s just a work to garner attention from the WWE Universe. Dean Ambrose was nowhere near in the prime title picture for more than a couple of years. So this news of being unhappy could create a buzz among the fans. This would lead him into the stardom that he lost. Following Wrestlemania, it can help to elevate his career.
According to The Dirty Sheets, Dean Ambrose himself pitched the current WWE storyline regarding the departure. It’s true that his 5-year contract with WWE is coming to an end in April. But the news that WWE revealed it in public was just part of a storyline. This could signal his end in the WWE and then get right back into it.
The idea is somewhat like ‘someone dying and then popping up on TV out of nowhere.’ They can’t do exactly like this due to sponsors but the angle could go as per his plan. Dean Ambrose created the storyline where WWE would announce his exit and book him like he’s irrelevant. A major swerve will be waiting down the line to give a new life in the WWE.
Also, this is a specialty about his current storyline which will determine his future with the WWE. This would decide whether he has the chance to leave after this timespan concludes. Here’s more from wwfoldschool.com,
“The current agreement between WWE & Ambrose is that if Ambrose is able to create the buzz that he wants with this storyline, then he will get a new WWE contract with ‘right to refusal’ creative clause (something that current WWE Champion Daniel Bryan has as well).”
So the upcoming weeks are going to be very much important in the career of Dean Ambrose. Creating a major buzz has become mandatory for him. WWE has already changed his character and booked him back as a babyface. They also do not want to see the former WWE Champion to leave. So they will give one last try to retain him under their banner.
