5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Feb 15)

3. WWE Books, And Then Promptly Cancels, Dean Ambrose Vs. Nia Jax

EC3 Confused At What Is Going On

Is this whole Dean Ambrose-leaving-WWE thing all a big work, as the conspiracy theory goes? Is he in fact a WWE mole that is headed to AEW to destroy it from within?

It is the only explanation behind his recent, bizarre, inconsistent booking. WWE is making him look so sh*tty that they can only be doing this to convince AEW that he is done with it all. It's just too elaborately f*ck-headed to not be a work at this point. Nia Jax messed him up on television, for f*ck's sake, and this weekend, before Mattel gave them a b*llocking, WWE had booked Nia Jax Vs. Dean Ambrose as an 'Inter-Gender Special Attraction'. Maybe this wasn't enough to convince us all that Ambrose wants out. Maybe WWE needed something else to put itself over as a complete joke.

And then, the masterstroke: WWE turned him babyface a couple of months after blaming Roman Reigns for contracting leukaemia.

Then again, if Ambrose were a WWE mole, Vince couldn't help himself but give him big massive spindly prop hands with extra thumbs, a plastic snout, and several worms and various other invertebrates to eat as he glibly no-sells an angry heel tirade with a bemused smirk.
