Okay, so I’ve been a huge wrestling fan since I was a kid, and Dean Ambrose, now known as Jon Moxley, was one of my favorites. I remember when he left WWE, it was a big deal, so I decided to dig in and really nail down the timeline. I’m putting this out there because I wished I had a clear record back then, so here’s my process:

My Deep Dive into Dean’s Departure
First, I started by hitting up the usual spots—the big wrestling news sites. I figured they’d have articles from around the time he left, giving me a general idea.
Then, I went to some wrestling forums. I wanted to see what fans were saying at the time. It’s often a good way to catch rumors or insider info that might not make it to the main news sites.
Next, I checked out WWE’s official announcements. I knew they wouldn’t give the whole story, but I figured they’d at least confirm the date his contract ended.
- I spent hours on this, piecing together bits of information.
- I created a timeline on a simple text, adding dates and events as I found them.
- I compared notes from different sources to make sure everything lined up. I hate when the info is not right!
Honestly, it was kind of tricky because there was so much speculation at the time. I mean he was very famous, and people are always talking, but it’s hard to be sure. But by cross-referencing everything, I eventually got a clear picture.
It wasn’t a single “he left on this day” moment. It was more of a process. His contract expired, and he chose not to renew it. Then, he showed up in another wrestling promotion (AEW) shortly after.
So that’s how I figured it all out. I hope this helps other fans, who also remember that time and want to know exactly when Dean Ambrose left WWE.
