Yeah, how often does WWE announce guys leaving months in advance? Has it ever happened?

Them making that statement may also mean he is off TV now and we may never see him again in WWE.

The article said he informed Vince and WWE this weekend but wasn't he on Raw last night?

Yep. Lost clean to Rollins.

Well now I think it's a work

Same here.

I am a little curious what he was going to say on RAW when he was sitting in the chair and about to speak and got interrupted.

Definitely feels like a work. Although he has every right to be ticked with how he's been used.

I have no idea, but has wwe ever issued a release like this in that official capacity that was a complete work?

This could be a repeat of the cm punk story

Does Dean Ambrose have undiagnosed MRSA?!?

During his recovery of a torn triceps, he had MSRA. He addresses it a little in his chronicle on the network. It also sounds like those in important positions with WWE never really made contact with him during his recovery, at least not until a few days before Summer Slam.

Unless he went total kayfabe during his chronicle, which Dean doesn't seem like that type of person, then I would truly believe he is upset with how he's been used. Especially compared to Rollins and Reigns. He's tired of the hokey ****.

That also explains Ambrose's handling of the curb stomp. Head goes nowhere the mat. Recoil was a far, far over exaggeration.

A poke in the eye to Vince on the way out the door ... rather than a single digit salute. But the result is the same.

And now Hideo Itami is leaving as well.

genius

Itami is another guy that they really dropped the ball on. Though, it didn't help that he had so many injuries early on in NXT

I can't tell if the Ambrose thing is legit or not.

If it is, I think he is a fool.

Of course it all depends on what a potential AEW deal would look like, and maybe it's not all about the money.

BUT, if I were a WWE superstar, I'd be really excited about the upcoming move to FOX and what that could do for my career. I wouldn't be jumping ship until I had a better idea what that was going to do.

I'm hopeful this is all a work to set up Dean into a Stone Cold type role.

In a sign of the times, they taped two endings to the Gargano/Velveteen championship match to avoid spoilers.

I know this will be shocking news, but Nia Jax has heat on her for hurting someone.

This past Sunday at the Royal Rumble, Nia Jax became the fourth woman to enter the men's Royal Rumble match. After R-Truth came out for his entrance at number 30, Nia attacked him before taking his spot in the match. It appears that there is some legitimate heat between Truth and Nia following the attack.

According to Jerry Lawler in the latest episode of Dinner With The King, Nia hurt R-Truth as she made her way to the ring.

"This got real heat for real. She blasted poor R-Truth and knocked him face-first into that wall," said Lawler. "He was hot, for real hot. They were having to hold him back there. She made it look good."

Halftime heat match for pretty good.

Poor Rusev. And he's right about everything he said.

I really find it entertaining how they keep having EC3 not talk

can we lock nia and whatever lashleys little mouth piece in a closet and lose the planet???

Ambrose was hilarious tonight. Glad they ditched the heel turn.

Might just be me, but is anyone else getting the vibe that WWE might be setting up a Stephanie/Becky rivalry similar to the Vince/Stone Cold rivalry.

I'm pretty sure everyone is getting that vibe.

From his match with Orton tonight. Ouch.

He's the executive VP.

To no ones surprise. Wish it was freaking May already

I've never watched Japanese wrestling, not really familiar with Omega other than everyone saying how good he is. I've seen some highlights and such. The way he talks reminds me of Shawn Michaels.

According to the link they are advertising Dean vs Nia for a house show in Arkansas. Are they punishing Dean with this who cares new rivalry with Jax?

Ive read that they are going to be taking some big risks in the near future since ratings are so low. Intergender matches were one of the ideas

Also, i signed up for the Double or Nothing pre-sale lottery that is Monday. If I end up getting selected, it looks like I'll be making a Vegas trip

Maybe ratings would be better if the storylines didn't suck so bad and predictable AND they'd promote wrestlers that fans actually like instead of duds like Roman Reigns.

The whole intergender match is dumb. It was cool when it was Chyna because people liked her.

Hopefully WWE isn't trying this because of today's era. It was also dumb when Renee said she broke barriers by Nia entering the men's royal rumble. You mean someone who hurt somebody to get in.
