As we noted yesterday, injured WWE star Dean Ambrose is eying a return to the ring following a triceps injury which took place back in December, and The Lunatic Fringe had appearances scheduled at the World of Wheels events this weekend.
However, WWE has pulled Ambrose for the events as he is currently in Birmingham, Alabama having his injury evaluated so a return timetable can be clarified. As we noted back when the injury took place, Ambrose was expected to miss around 2-3 months of action, and while his return could be soon, he is doubtful for WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans.
