On this week's episode of Monday Night Raw, which was followed up by a historic WrestleMania 35 show, former WWE Champion, Dean Ambrose officially bid farewell to the WWE, as he appeared in his very last show for the company.

Having refused to sign a new deal with WWE a few months prior, Ambrose was given an emotional send-off on his final WWE appearance, as he along with new Universal Champion, Seth Rollins and fellow Shield brethren Roman Reigns greeted the WWE Universe in a heart-rending promo.

In his final promo, Ambrose thanked the WWE Universe the most for their support and personally being a fan of 'The Lunatic Fringe', it was indeed very emotional for me to witness Ambrose officially depart from WWE.

Nevertheless, with Ambrose now being a free agent the WWE Grand Slam Champion has endless options ahead of him and could possibly sign for a top promotion in order to make his return to the Pro Wrestling business. That being said, here are five promotions under which Dean Ambrose could make his Pro Wrestling return with.


#5. BJW

Hardcore fans of Dean Ambrose are very familiar with his work prior to him joining WWE. Ambrose, then known as Jon Moxley, was considered as a Deathmatch machine, thanks to his work under Combat Zone Wrestling.

Speaking of Deathmatches, Japanese promotion Big Japan Pro Wrestling is mostly famous for its Deathmatch style wrestling and notable names such as Masaya Takahashi and Deisuke Sekimoto are all known for their work under BJW.

As for Ambrose, if 'The Lunatic Fringe' plans on returning to hardcore Deathmatch Wrestling Style once again then BJW is the place for him. However, considering Ambrose's age and how "beat up" his body reportedly is, Big Japan seems like a very unlikely destination, to say the least.

#4. PWG

Pro Wrestling Guerilla is arguably America's most popular and famous Independent promotion and throughout the years, several WWE superstars following their departure have worked for PWG. For instance, the likes of Cody Rhodes and Sami Callihan are prime examples.

Similarly, former notable PWG superstars are now currently a part of WWE's current roster. The likes of Ricochet, Aleister Black, Keith Lee, Dominick Dijakovic, Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Adam Cole, and Candice LeRae are all former PWG superstars and have eventually signed for WWE.

Following the same process, Dean Ambrose could also make his way over to PWG and compete in some absolute dream matches with some of the best Independent talents around the globe. Ambrose has already established his legacy as one of Indies biggest legends, thanks to his work with CZW in the past and a run with PWG will certainly be a heartwarming comeback for the man once known as Jon Moxley.

#3. NJPW

New Japan Pro Wrestling is by far one of the more popular wrestling promotions' in the world today and having extended their market in the United States of America as well, NJPW has well and truly started to establish their legacy all around the globe.

Throughout the years, several top gaijin stars have competed under the New Japan banner, including the likes Finn Balor, AJ Styles, Kenny Omega, Brock Lesnar, Adam Cole, Cody Rhodes and the legendary names such as Hulk Hogan, Vader, and Andre The Giant as well. The current NJPW roster, on the other hand, consists of several top foreign talents in the form of Will Ospreay, Jay White, Zack Sabre Jr., Juice Robinson, and Jeff Cobb.

Therefore, NJPW signing Dean Ambrose in the foreseeable future definitely shouldn't come in as a major surprise, as the former WWE World Champion will definitely fit right into the NJPW roster, their style of wrestling, and might just click perfectly with the audience as well.

With NJPW set to reveal their set of participants for the G1 29, maybe Ambrose could enter the tournament as a surprise name.

#2. AEW

All Elite Wrestling is making big moves and prior to their first show, Double or Nothing which takes place on the 25th of May, AEW has been busy signing some of the hottest talents from all around the globe.

The likes of Kenny Omega, Pac, Chris Jericho, Jimmy Havoc, Britt Baker, Kylie Rae, Allie, and Hikaru Shida have all signed with AEW over the course of the past few months. With AEW reportedly having already offered Dean Ambrose a massive deal to join the company, chances are that 'The Lunatic Fringe' might just end up signing with Tony Khan's company.

After all, AEW will be working on a much lighter schedule and as for Dean Ambrose, he seemingly is willing to rest his body for the next few months, could end up signing with AEW as he will be guaranteed a huge amount of money with a much lighter schedule as well.

The dream matches for Dean Ambrose in AEW are endless as well. Bouts against the likes of Penta and Jimmy Havoc should be top priority.

#1. CZW

There is no better feeling in the world other than returning home and for Dean Ambrose, home is a promotion which goes by the name of Combat Zone Wrestling.

Prior to Ambrose signing with the WWE in 2011, the 33-year-old was by far one of CZW's top superstars, performing in some of CZW's most notable shows against some of the best and hardest hitting hardcore wrestlers from all around the world.

Ambrose, then known by the name of Jon Moxley, is a former two-time CZW World Heavyweight Champion defeating B-Boy and the legendary Nick Gage, respectively, to win the CZW World Title.

Now, Dean Ambrose is bound to make his return to Pro Wrestling sooner or later and a return under CZW would literally be the best homecoming for Ambrose, at this point. The man once known as Jon Moxley could once again prove the world why he once was considered as one of the craziest wrestlers' to ever step foot in the squared circle.
