Update On Dean Ambrose’s Injury Status

Home of the fighting lunatic. Things can change at the drop of an elbow/leg/splash in wrestling. You never know what kind of consequences a single match or even move could have on your career. A simple injury could turn into something huge and change everything. That was the case late last year when Dean Ambrose tore his triceps muscles and was put on the shelf for a very long time. We have an update though, and it doesn’t seem positive.

But first, something a bit more fun.

According to PWInsider by way of Wrestlinginc.com, Ambrose has been living in Birmingham, Alabama almost full time as his injury continues to heal. Birmingham is where Ambrose’s surgery and recovery has been taking place. At the moment there is no word on when he’ll be back in the ring, but there is a chance that it could be several more months, possibly going all the way until September. Ambrose’s last match was a six man tag on the December 7, 2017 Monday Night Raw.

Opinion: It’s not a good sign when you have to stay that close to the hospital and medical facilities. Ambrose’s injury seems to be a very long term one and that’s the kind of thing that you can’t rush. It would be nice to have him back earlier but I’d much rather have him heal up properly and not have to worry about being put on the shelf for the better part of another year by trying to come back far too soon.

What do you want to see from Ambrose when he gets back? Will he ever be World Champion again? Let us know in the comments below.
