– Roman Reigns said in an interview with Sky Sports that Dean Ambrose’s decision to leave WWE was a big shock to him. Reigns said that he didn’t initially take it too seriously, but that he was caught off guard when he learned it was true.

“I think I actually read it on Twitter so I didn’t take it too seriously,” Reigns said. “I’ve always known Ambrose and he likes to stay unpredictable and march to the beat of his own drum. I know one thing, he just wants to be happy. He’s kind of been preparing for when he doesn’t have to rely on anybody. We’ve been lucky enough to be on a crazy roller-coaster ride over the last few years and secure ourselves.”

He added, “It still is a big shock and we haven’t had much time to talk about it because we’ve been on the gas pedal since I’ve been back. It concerns me a bit – the last thing I want is for one of my good friends to leave but as long as he’s happy and healthy we’ll be good. We’ll still talk all the time but this is WWE and you never know what’s going to happen.”

A report late last month said Reigns told WWE he’d ‘take care of’ the situation and convince Ambrose to stay. Ambrose’s contract expires in April.
