Former WWE Champion Dean Ambrose will walk away from the promotion after WrestleMania 35 (7 April).

This is according to PWTorch, who report that three separate sources have told them 'The Lunatic Fringe' will be departing the company when his contract expires soon after the 'Showcase of the Immortals.' Ambrose told management of his decision over Royal Rumble weekend.

While Dean's contract expires towards the end of April, WWE may choose to write him out of storylines before then, and his impending departure may explain his weak Rumble run and subsequent loss to Seth Rollins on last night's Raw.

PWTorch claim that creative frustrations drove Ambrose's decision. Management had offered him a contract extension and raise, but Dean has reached "breaking point" with his character direction.

When asked if Ambrose had shown outward signs of frustration, one of his roster-mates said "he's pretty much impossible to read," but that he "hates hokey sh*t." Knowing this, it's understandable that Dean would be upset with how his character has been handled in recent years.

A jump to All Elite Wrestling is the first conclusion many will jump to. There's no indication that this is on the cards, but it's entirely possible that Ambrose's decision was partly influenced by the new promotion.
