Dean Ambrose has been missing in action ever since a devastating attack at the hands of Seth Rollins and Kane. At SummerSlam, Rollins was able to defeat the so-called Lunatic Fringe in a Lumberjack match. The following night, on August 18th, Rollins Curb Stomped Ambroses head into a stack of cinder blocks. Reportedly, Ambrose refused medical attention and then vanished. In reality, the storyline was used to give Ambrose time off, as hes been filming a new WWE production, Lockdown. The film features Dean as a cop trapped inside his own precinct while being hunted by other crooked police officers. The film is a co-production between WWE Studios and Lionsgate, due out sometime in 2015. The company was hopeful that Dean Ambrose would be done with filming and be able to return in time for the Night of Champions pay-per-view on September 21st. While its always possible that Ambrose could still return for the PPV, he is officially being advertised for the next nights Raw broadcast -- from the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee. Ambrose will likely be on the hunt for his former Shield partner, Seth Rollins, upon his return. The two will undoubtedly be looking to continue their rivalry for the time being. What the exact plans are for Ambroses return are unclear. Furthermore, while the announced return of September 22nd is a lock, dont be surprised if the Lunatic Fringe shows up earlier than that. Ambrose could make an appearance at Night of Champions to renew the Rollins feud. Let us know your thoughts on Dean Ambrose and his imminent return by leaving a comment below.
