WWE is the Mecca for professional wrestlers, a 7 figure salary, travelling all around the world, and being on television every week, therefore it came as a surprise that one of WWE's biggest stars Dean Ambrose is leaving WWE. The news broke on online wrestling dirt sheet site Pro Wrestling Torch earlier this week, but in a unprecedented, surprising twist WWE, via their online website, confirmed that the rumours are true and Dean Ambrose is not renewing his WWE contract. Dean Ambrose's contract expires after Wrestlemania 35 and WWE has already offered him a very lucrative deal back in December but he turned it down.

It is easy to see why he is leaving, the wrestling industry is in a very interesting position in 2019, with the arrival of AEW and Ring of Honor and New Japan being good alternatives to WWE, performers do not have to stay in WWE if they are unhappy. Dean Ambrose has consistently been one of the best in ring performers in recent years, but his character and promo work has left a bad taste in fan's mouths with it being very hokey and embarrassing.

Where he will go to after WWE, we can only speculate, but it is not often you see a top performer leave WWE, and not only that, but WWE confirm via their website that he is leaving. Whether this leads to a creative rebirth of his character elsewhere or he leaves the business enitirely is anyone's guess.
