Since returning to WWE, Dean Ambrose hasn't been given the best material to work with. As well as making some shocking comments about Roman Reign's cancer diagnosis, he's been given a hokey new persona in which he complains about the WWE Universe's germs. With that in mind, you can see why he might want to see what else is out there, particularly with the launch of All Elite Wrestling.
Dave Meltzer has now revealed that Ambrose turned down a massive $1 million per year downside guarantee from WWE. That means he would have received a minimum of $1 million per year but could have made quite a bit more thanks to merchandise money, bonuses, and video games. As of right now, it's said that the Lunatic Fringe hasn't entered talks with AEW about possibly making the move.
It's not even clear if Ambrose is interested in remaining part of wrestling or has other aspirations but it will obviously be very interesting seeing where he goes next as he has a massive fanbase.
