2 Highs and 3 Lows from Dean Ambrose's WWE WrestleMania appearances

#3 High: Featured match at WrestleMania 32

By the time WrestleMania 32 came around, there were few WWE Superstars who were as popular as Dean Ambrose. The Shield member was the guy, as far as the fans were concerned, in late 2015/early 2016 and he was the people’s favourite to win the 2016 Royal Rumble.

As it turned out, although he had a decent showing in the Rumble, he finished runner-up to Triple H, who won the World Heavyweight Championship in the match, and he went on to lose a title match against “The Game” at the Roadblock event six weeks later.

“The Lunatic Fringe” retained the support of the WWE Universe and featured in one of the marquee matches of WrestleMania 32 – a No Holds Barred Street Fight with Brock Lesnar – at a time when Seth Rollins was out injured and Roman Reigns was preparing for his second WrestleMania main event in a row.

Although WWE was plagued by injuries at this time, it was still a huge show of faith for the company to give Ambrose the spotlight in a match against Lesnar, whose appearances were even more limited then than they are now.

But, as we will explain in the next slide, the match did not go exactly as planned…
