5 Reasons Dean Ambrose leaving WWE might be a work, and 5 why his departure could be legitimate

Could be a work #2: The WWE recently stated Ambrose was one of the 'greatest US Champions of all time.'

The WWE has ranked Dean Ambrose as one of the greatest United States Champions of all time.

For the most part, ever since the WWE acquired WCW in 2002 they have by and largely ignored legacies involving WCW championships.

However, one title that has remained unbroken in its lineage is the United States Championship. The title is considered by the WWE to be the same one that Ric Flair won and defended in the old NWA territories, and worn by men like Bret Hart in WCW's years of operation.

That's all well and good, but how this pertains exactly to Dean Ambrose is as follows: Despite publicly acknowledging that Dean Ambrose is leaving the company, the WWE still chose to rank him as one of the top five United States champions of all time.

Needless to say, this is an odd choice if Dean is really leaving the company, and might be more proof that the whole affair is a storyline meant to work the fans.
