– Bodyslam.net reports that Dean Ambrose is backstage at RAW in Cincinnati today.
As of this writing it’s unknown if he’s just visiting friends because it’s his hometown or if he’s being examined by WWE doctors to clear for him for his return.
Ambrose was originally set to return to action sometime in August after undergoing surgery for a triceps tear however reports last month suggested that his return was pushed back until September.
We will keep you updated if we receive any additional information regarding the nature of his visit.
