In a startling turn of events, WWE has seemingly made the decision to erase Dean Ambrose,
now known to AEW fans as John Moxley, from its history books.
The move has sparked controversy among wrestling enthusiasts,
with many questioning the motives behind WWE’s actions.
The controversy began when WWE posted a highlights video showcasing the history of Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns with The Shield, a faction in which Dean Ambrose was a prominent member. However, keen-eyed fans noticed that Ambrose was conspicuously absent from the footage, leading to speculation that WWE deliberately cropped him out.
For those unfamiliar, Dean Ambrose left WWE on strained terms and has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the company since his departure. With his successful transition to AEW, where he has become one of the promotion’s top stars, WWE’s decision to erase him from its history comes as little surprise to many.
Fans have taken to social media to express their opinions on WWE’s actions. Some have criticized the company for what they perceive as a petty move, while others have defended WWE, arguing that Ambrose’s departure justifies his exclusion from the footage.
One fan tweeted, “Cropping out Ambrose is a childish move, especially when he’s the longest-reigning US champion in WWE history.” Another countered, “He has nothing to do with this storyline, no reason to have him in it.”
Another fan lamented, “There is no Shield without Dean Ambrose. John Moxley deserves more respect.” The sentiment was echoed by many who expressed disbelief at WWE’s ability to erase Ambrose from The Shield’s history so easily.
The debate rages on as fans grapple with WWE’s decision to erase one of its former stars. Is it a justified response to Ambrose’s departure and criticism of the company, or is it a step too far in rewriting history?
As the wrestling community continues to dissect WWE’s actions, one thing remains clear: the erasure of Dean Ambrose has ignited a firestorm of controversy that shows no signs of abating.
