5 WrestleMania storylines for Dean Ambrose before he leaves WWE
'The Lunatic Fringe' Dean Ambrose has allegedly informed WWE that he will not be renewing his contract when it expires in April this year, shortly after WrestleMania. This was corroborated by WWE themselves, who sent out a statement to several media publications and posted it on their own website.
The wrestling community seems to be up in arms about whether or not Dean Ambrose is actually going to leave the company or not, and remain undecided about whether or not the announcement from the WWE is an attempt to 'work' everyone with a new storyline for Ambrose.
My personal opinion is that the announcement is a work, but that doesn't mean that Ambrose is staying with the company come April. By that, I mean that I think the fact they announced Ambrose's departure now, rather than when he actually leaves, is storyline driven and will lead to an exit storyline for the WWE Superstar.
But what storylines could the WWE do with someone they know is leaving? Ambrose's impending departure provides an excellent opportunity for WWE to do something new and exciting before he leaves. Here are some suggestions
#5 Intergender match
Intergender wrestling in the WWE has been a hot topic recently with many amazing matches between female and male wrestlers taking place on the independent circuit, but WWE staying well clear of them except for select circumstances (ie. James Ellsworth)
But one of the big takeaways from this year's Royal Rumble was that intergender wrestling seems to be back to some extent, especially after Nia Jax entered the Men's Royal Rumble Match and ate everyone's finishers.
WWE then doubled-down on this by having Nia Jax attack Dean Ambrose as he was exiting the ring on Monday Night Raw
During a backstage segment, Ambrose indicated that he was going to chalk it up as Jax slipping in the ring and accidentally hitting him. But what if it happens again? What if Jax forces Ambrose to snap?
It's early days but we could've seen the start of a build towards an intergender match between Nia Jax and Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania, which would be a truly interesting addition to WWE's biggest show and a potentially befitting and truly random exit for 'The Lunatic Fringe'
