5 Dream Opponents for Dean Ambrose outside WWE
Over the past one month, Dean Ambrose's future in WWE has been a huge talking point in the wrestling community.
It all started with a report from Wade Keller of Pro Wrestling Torch which stated that Lunatic Fringe will refuse to re-sign with the company once his current contract expires in April.
Ambrose's frustration with the creative team was said to be a major reason why the former Intercontinental Champion decided against re-signing despite being offered a substantial hike in pay.
It seemed like just another case of a superstar being unsatisfied with his creative direction and deciding to leave the company.
But, within hours of this report, WWE issued a statement confirming the report, something that they seldom do, considering how secretive they are with their contract negotiations.
This led many to believe that this is a work and that the company is using Ambrose's departure as a part of a storyline. While it is too early to decide whether or not it is at the moment, all signs are pointing towards Ambrose leaving the company for good.
While it is certainly bad news for the fans of Dean Ambrose, it is very good news for fans of Jon Moxley, Dean's ring name, during his stint in the independent circuit.
There are a plethora of dream matches that fans would love Ambrose, once he steps away from WWE. Here are our picks for the top five dream opponents for Dean Ambrose outside of the WWE:
#5 Cody
With the announcement of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Cody has become one of the most influential superstars in the business today. The newly-formed wrestling promotion has been able to capture the imagination of wrestling fans across the globe.
The promotion's first event, Double or Nothing, sold out in less than five minutes, which is nothing short of mind-boggling.
While the promotion already has top-tier talents like PAC, Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho, the company needs a few top stars and we believe that Ambrose would be a valuable addition to the promotion.
The Lunatic Fringe is a dynamic performer inside the ring and his mic skills are one of the best in the business.
Ambrose has always been someone who is at loggerheads with the authorities and having him feud with an authority figure like Cody will be the perfect way to introduce Ambrose to the AEW crowd.
Ambrose and Cody have previously faced off against one another on WWE TV but their matches weren't noteworthy.
But, a lot has changed over the past few years and we are pretty sure that Ambrose and Cody will put on a clinic if they were to clash once again.
Cody's cocky persona is the perfect foil for Ambrose's lunacy and together this duo will surely create magic inside the squared circle.
