WWE News: Dean Ambrose opens up about segment where Nia Jax punched him
What’s the story?
Last night's RAW took a surprising twist when, after his impromptu match with Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose grabbed a steel chair and took a seat in the ring - only to be interrupted by Nia Jax and Tamina. Ambrose was unceremoniously dumped from the ring as a result.
The Lunatic Fringe has now opened up about the segment.
In case you didn’t know…
Earlier today, it was reported that Dean Ambrose has informed WWE that he will be leaving when his contract expires in April.
At the Royal Rumble, Ambrose spent a surprisingly short time on our screens when he was eliminated quickly from the Royal Rumble Match - a match won by the man he's recently been feuding with and the man he interrupted on RAW, former SHIELD brother Seth Rollins.
Meanwhile, Nia Jax made a name for herself by entering TWO Royal Rumble Matches in one night - competing in both the Women's and Men's match, and lasting longer than Dean Ambrose did in the Men's.
Last night's RAW opened with Seth Rollins cutting a promo about his win, before Triple H made his way to the ring to congratulate him - but they were followed by a disgruntled Dean Ambrose. A match was then made where Rollins bested his former best friend, before Dean grabbed a chair - only to be confronted by the woman whose time he was eating up.
The heart of the matter
After the segment, WWE posted a video of Dean Ambrose reacting to what happened - and his opening line was as bizarre as you may expect.
I've spent a lot of time and drank a lot of cocktails with Tamina over the years. Great woman. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt here, I don't know why she's fraternizing with this Nia Jax.
Ambrose had a logical explanation for it all, though...
I'm going to assume that Nia simply tripped and fell in to me, and was not trying to start some physical altercation with me, a man. Because that's insane, right? So, I'm going to accept her, what I assume is an apology is what she was yelling at me from the ring as I was being escorted away by referees. Like I would do something. Can you imagine? I'm going to accept her apology. And we're all good.
What’s next?
Well, will we see Dean Ambrose on RAW next week? Only time will tell - but it'll be very interesting to see what happens next.
