WWE has announced that Dean Ambrose will not be signing a new contract after Wrestlemania when the current contract ends. Ambrose has been unhappy with the storyline saying he does not like “hokey shit” and that’s what he has been doing for 2 years now. There is still plenty of time for WWE to offer a deal for either more creative freedom or a better schedule. Will keep you posted on details as they unfold.
