One of the biggest news that has taken the world of professional wrestling by storm is Dean Ambrose leaving WWE after his contract expires in April.

Vince McMahon's billion dollar company has apparently confirmed the news on their social media platforms which only suggests that the Lunatic Fringe is indeed moving towards a different direction.

There's no denying that the former WWE Champion possesses all the credentials in the world that would have him a main event star in the company.

However, the lack of creative freedom and his failed heel turn has coerced the 33-year old Superstar to think otherwise and pursue a life outside of the WWE.

While the decision has been solely made by the Lunatic Fringe, there are many different things that led him to a different stratosphere of frustration within the squared circle.

Despite the fact that Dean confronted Triple H and Seth Rollins this week and was on the verge of almost delivering a pipe bomb, the fans are still upset and would probably miss the Lunatic Fringe running riot on the red brand.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and analyze the 5 interesting facts that prove Dean Ambrose won't regret leaving the WWE.


#1 Not pushing him as the Royal Rumble winner in 2016

A major disappointment

A genuine reason that coerced Ambrose's frustrations to run wild was his creative booking on Monday Night Raw in 2016.

At a time when most of the biggest Superstars were sidelined with unfortunate injuries during the WrestleMania season, it was the Lunatic Fringe that stepped up to grab the brass ring.

After delivering one of the most compelling matches in Royal Rumble history with Kevin Owens, the former WWE Champion went on to close the show with Triple H in the Men's Royal Rumble match.

Considering that the fans had turned their backs on the Big Dog, the time was for someone like Ambrose to grab the spotlight and run riot against the Authority on Monday Night Raw.

However, nothing of that sort happened. Vince McMahon booked Hunter to win the WWE Championship and while he did push Ambrose for a major match at the Show of Shows, he pushed Roman Reigns when the world wanted to see Ambrose.

#2 Being presented as the weakling in the Shield since day one

There's no denying that The Shield is one of the most iconic groups in the history of professional wrestling and the trio would have ruled the company for the next decade or two.

However, Dean's apparent exit from the company might coerce Vince McMahon to make some serious alterations on Monday Night Raw.

One of the more considerable reasons why Ambrose's stock dropped was being presented as a legitimate weakling in the Hounds of Justice.

While Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins continued to be promoted as the industry's biggest stars, the Lunatic Fringe never received the attention he deserved within the squared circle.

Considering that 2018 saw both Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns being presented as the Intercontinental and Universal Champions respectively, the Lunatic Fringe was roaming without any gold around his waist.

This certainly justified the company's take on Ambrose's positioning in the Shield. The 33-year old Superstar certainly deserved more on the main roster than being considered a weakling.

#3 Not receiving any creative freedom in his match with Brock Lesnar

After making the most of his opportunities in 2016, WWE finally gave Dean Ambrose the opportunity to have a solid feud for the Showcase of the Immortals.

With Brock Lesnar portraying the ultimate antagonist, many fans expected this match to give us something we remember for years to come.

However, what happened that night in front of a record-breaking attendance in Texas was one of the worst matches in WrestleMania history.

While the story Vince McMahon was bringing to the table was efficient, the Lunatic Fringe's constant efforts to enlighten the crowd with a creative match fell flat, as the Beast Incarnate felt uninterested in giving him anything.

The former WWE Champion has openly stated his frustrations with Brock Lesnar's match at WrestleMania 32 which was his only marquee match at the Show of Shows.

#4 Having the opportunity of becoming one of the most dangerous heels in All Elite Wrestling

Ever since Dean Ambrose turned heel, we all knew that we are on the verge of seeing one of the most dangerous villains to ever grace the squared circle.

However, the Lunatic Fringe's heel turn ended up becoming one of the worst in WWE history, with the company focusing more on elevating the Architect than the former.

Since the inception of All Elite Wrestling, many wrestlers have reportedly expressed their interest in leaving Vince McMahon's billion dollar company and join hands with Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks.

Considering that Ambrose was such a legendary performer in the independent landscape, he could use his heel persona in All Elite Wrestling and in turn, become one of the greatest heels this industry has ever seen.

With Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes becoming so popular outside of the WWE, Ambrose could utilize his creativity to the maximum and propel himself to unimaginable heights.

#5 He can never be erased from the company's illustrious history

Absolutely right
Absolutely right

There's no way Vince McMahon or any other in the WWE management could dethrone Dean Ambrose's legacy from the company's illustrious history.

While many predict the former WWE Champion walking a similar rope as CM Punk, the Lunatic Fringe was an influential part of WWE's most dominating and successful faction, the Shield.

Having walked down this road with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns for such a long time, it would be an impossible task for the company to keep him out of their history books.

Remember, it was the 33-year old superstar who outshined both his brothers in their only triple-threat match on the main roster for the WWE Championship which in the world of pro wrestling justifies that Ambrose was the better man.

Despite the fact that several decisions coerced the former WWE Champion to leave Vince McMahon's billion dollar company, he will always be considered an integral member of the company.
