8 things in 2019 which WWE fans wouldn't have imagined a year ago

#6 Dean Ambrose leaving the company to join AEW

Just to give you a perspective of how different the pro-wrestling world was a year ago, the promotion which is being considered as the biggest rival to WWE in the last few years, All Elite Wrestling, wasn't even officially announced yet.

Even when it got announced, who would have imagined one of WWE's biggest stars leaving the company to join AEW? Yes, we are talking about Dean Ambrose.

Even after WWE announced that the former Shield member would be leaving the company, many expected it to be a storyline. However, the Lunatic Fringe's appearance at AEW's Double or Nothing shocked everyone. Exit Dean Ambrose, enter Jon Moxley!

#5 The Undertaker not showing up at WrestleMania

WrestleMania is undoubtedly the grandest pro-wrestling show of the year, and the one man who has played a huge part in establishing the rich history of the Show of Shows is none other than The Undertaker.

His once undefeated streak of 21-0 at WrestleMania remains one of the biggest ever feats achieved by a Superstar. Even after that, the Dead Man continued appearing on the show each year until WrestleMania 35.

Fans kept on waiting for the iconic gong to echo around the arena, but the Phenom failed to show up at the Grandest Stage, missing it for the first time since 2000. He did appear on the following RAW, but a 'Mania without 'Taker seemed somewhat incomplete.
