• Details Regarding “Big Money” WWE Contract That Dean Ambrose Rejected

According to PWTorch, RAW wrestler Dean Ambrose is very frustrated with the creative direction for his character and wants to leave WWE when his contract expires in April after WrestleMania 35.

Ambrose was offered a new contract and a raise, but he informed Vince McMahon directly in a meeting that he wants to leave.

According to PWInsider, the contract that Ambrose rejected was a 5 year deal worth seven figures annually. It was also noted that money is no longer an issue for Ambrose as he has made enough money while being on the WWE main roster for 6 years and he doesn’t live an expensive lifestyle.

No word yet on what Ambrose plans to do after leaving WWE, but All Elite Wrestling might be an option now.

As we noted before, WWE originally planned to have Ambrose go after the new Universal Champion Seth Rollins (as he’s slated to defeat Brock Lesnar) after WrestleMania 35, with the feud most likely ending in a loss for Ambrose.

It’s possible that with Ambrose deciding to leave, WWE went ahead with Rollins defeating Ambrose clean on RAW last night.

Ambrose was then attacked by Nia Jax after the match.
