Dean Ambrose has made the shocking decision to leave WWE and while it's possible that he'll have one final match at WrestleMania, WWE could choose to have the Lunatic Fringe quietly fade away over the coming couple of months. Now, former NXT Champion Samoa Joe has shared his thoughts on Ambrose's decision to turn down a lucrative five-year deal.
"Dean’s a fantastic performer and there’s no doubt about it. Me saying that is like saying the sky is blue. As far as his departure, I think Dean’s the type of cat that he wants to do things that he’s into and if he’s not into what he’s doing at a certain time then he’ll have no problem stepping away and pursuing other things," the popular heel explained.
"If that’s the case then cool, more power to him. I think there are so many people who are wrapped up in the needs and wants of wanting to become a WWE superstar that they forget sometimes there other goals they want to achieve. I think Dean is a goal-oriented person and when he gets a goal in mind he’s going to try and accomplish it, more power to him. He will be missed."
It's hard not to wonder if Joe can relate to Ambrose's decision, especially when he's arguably been misused since hitting the main roster. After all, the Samoan Submission Machine should have quickly become WWE Champion but he's instead lost again and again and was even the first person to be eliminated during last night's Elimination Chamber match.
