It still isn't certain if Dean Ambrose is leaving WWE but it certainly seems like WWE isn't too big on the wrestler as seen by his poor booking off late.
Dean Ambrose made an emphatic return to the ring in August last year in what probably seemed like a new start for the Lunatic Fringe. A promised great feud between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose calmly surrendered itself in the absence of Roman Reigns.
Seth Rollins made his way into the Universal Title picture and was pushed well by the WWE creatives. This meant Dean Ambrose had to do away with the promised feud and slowly the heel Lunatic Fringe came back to being a member of The Shield. This was after Roman Reigns made his much-anticipated return to WWE.
It might not be wrong to say that the absence of Roman Reigns from WWE cost Dean Ambrose a very good storyline, but this was something which wasn't in anyone's control. As things stand today, it still isn't sure, if Dean Ambrose will be seen in WWE anymore. While some rumours also suggest that Dean Ambrose might not be seen in WWE programming anymore.
All things considered, it seems highly likely that Dean Ambrose might leave WWE and this comes with the prospect of far greater things that he can do outside WWE.
#3 AEW

AEW is turning out to be the biggest competitor to WWE is such a short time. Christopher Daniels, Cody Rhodes, Chris Jericho, Fenix, Pentagon, and a longer list of talented wrestlers have brought power to the AEW roster.
Dean Ambrose can gain a lot by signing with AEW, and there is a good chance that he might do that. AEW will be ready to pay any amount to sign WWE wrestlers and someone like Dean Ambrose don't come around that often.
Dean Ambrose might as well become the next Cody Rhodes. Ambrose possesses a natural heel persona and he is too good to become irrelevant after he leaves WWE.
#2 Take some time off wrestling
![He could well be making movies](https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/5aa30-15537955189978-800.jpg?w=190 190w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/5aa30-15537955189978-800.jpg?w=720 720w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/5aa30-15537955189978-800.jpg?w=640 640w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/5aa30-15537955189978-800.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/5aa30-15537955189978-800.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/5aa30-15537955189978-800.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/5aa30-15537955189978-800.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/5aa30-15537955189978-800.jpg 1920w)
Dean Ambrose isn't of the calibre of wrestlers who will have to look for offers to come his way. The life of wrestlers is difficult and involves endless touring, a punishing work regime and keeping fit enough to compete at least three times a week.
Yes, Dean Ambrose had had enough time to rest during injury, but a break like this can provide him the opportunity to think things through and act accordingly.
Dean Ambrose is 33 years old and there are a good five to seven years of prime wrestling left in him before he can establish himself as a name that draws attention in the world of wrestling.
This looks like a perfect opportunity for Dean Ambrose to take things slow and allow himself a much-needed hiatus. He might as well be looking at the opportunity to work with WWE Studios.
#1 Independent circuit
![Dean Ambrose in Independent Circuit is best](https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/0c8a0-15537956161426-800.jpg?w=190 190w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/0c8a0-15537956161426-800.jpg?w=720 720w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/0c8a0-15537956161426-800.jpg?w=640 640w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/0c8a0-15537956161426-800.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/0c8a0-15537956161426-800.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/0c8a0-15537956161426-800.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/0c8a0-15537956161426-800.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/0c8a0-15537956161426-800.jpg 1920w)
A move to independent circuit tops the list because of the kind of impact Dean Ambrose can make if he decides to work as an indie wrestler. Dean Ambrose will have the flexibility to use his star power and make a good name for himself.
The independent circuit provides him with a lot of creative freedom to his character, something which Chris Jericho has used to the maximum effect in the recent past.
Dean Ambrose is a big name and he could capitalise on this opportunity to have high profile matches against already established superstars in the indie circuit. There are reports that ALL IN 2 is scheduled to take place on August 31 and Dean Ambrose on the match card will certainly help the event.
Dean Ambrose vs Christ Jericho could possibly be an interesting match between two former WWE superstars on a platform that challenges WWE for its hold on professional wrestling.
