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

#1 Low: Demoted to the kickoff show

Dean Ambrose missed WrestleMania 34 due to injury, so WrestleMania 33 might turn out to be his final ‘Mania before he leaves WWE at the end of his contract later in April.

WrestleMania 33 was also the first “Show of Shows” following the 2016 brand split, which took place at a time when Ambrose held the WWE Championship. Due to the separate rosters, more storylines than ever before had been built on Raw and SmackDown Live before ‘Mania, and it was obvious leading up to the event that “The Lunatic Fringe”, just three months after his WWE title storyline ended, was not exactly WWE’s priority.

Originally, he was supposed to defend the Intercontinental Championship against Baron Corbin on the main pay-per-view. However, after fans voiced their displeasure about the SmackDown Women’s Championship six-pack challenge taking place on the kickoff show, WWE switched the two matches and placed the IC title match at the end of the kickoff show instead.

Ambrose vs. Corbin was nothing more than what you would expect to see on regular WWE television, so perhaps WWE made the right call, but it was still a major low in Ambrose’s career to be demoted to the pre-show broadcast.
