We noted before how Hideo Itami was reported to be leaving WWE, and while the company didn’t release an official statement on the same, it became clear that this was not a work when a number of WWE superstars showed their respect to Itami on Twitter.
However, this is not the case with Dean Ambrose. While he is said to be leaving the company after WrestleMania and WWE has confirmed the same as well, there are people within the company who believe that the whole thing is a work.
Due to the confusion, the roster members had so far been quiet about the situation with the Lunatic Fringe opposed to the case of Hideo. Though now Rusev has broken this silence by thanking both the Japanese Star and Ambrose with the following Tweet:
Thank you Kenta and thank you Dean.

As we noted before, Dean Ambrose’s current contract with WWE expires in April after WrestleMania. He is said to be frustrated with the way his on-screen character has been presented and so he is planning to leave.
The company had offered him a new seven-figure, five years deal to re-sign but he gave his notice to the Officials on Monday before Raw and made it clear that he is not interested in negotiating further.
