DEAN IS LEAVING?????? Dude wtf have I missed
Dean showed many heel-ish aspects for about four months before they turned him heel. In my opinion, that was two and a half months too long, and it proved how little thought the WWE actually put into it, because even though they delayed it, it still ended up horribly unreasonable.
Dean turned heel on Seth after Roman announced his battle with leukemia. They had a feud that didn’t go very well because WWE didn’t plan out Dean’s character arc and it made him look stupid. (I have many thoughts on it, and all of them are negative, so feel free to ask me in the DMs if you want)
He subsequently won the IC title from Seth, though, and in turn had a match or two more with Seth that weren’t well received (I specifically remember “this is boring” chants, and yeah, imo, it was). Bobby Lashley came into the mix on raw a couple weeks ago, and had a bomb ass match with Seth and Dean for the IC title and won, leaving Dean (and Seth) with nothing.
Dean and Seth both entered the rumble, but Dean was thrown out of the match in almost jobber-resembling fashion. Seth won the rumble, Nia got in Dean’s face, and now Dean has a match with Triple H at mania??
Eight hours later, news broke out of Dean’s departure from the WWE. And now we’re making memes to cope.
