The New Era's craziest WWE superstar, Dean Ambrose, is all set to leave the company after his farewell appearance on the RAW after WrestleMania 35.

The Lunatic Fringe was supposed to battle 'the Dominator' Bobby Lashley, in his final match but the match never began officially thanks to Lashley's pre-match promo, where he informed Dean that he will take care of his wife, Renee Young, once he leaves. This remark led to a brawl between the two which saw Lashley put Ambrose through the announcers' desk and stand tall.

With Dean Ambrose's exciting WWE career coming to an end, let us have a look at the 5 dream feuds involving the Unstable that never happened in the WWE.


#5 Andrade

Dean Ambrose was a modern day hardcore legend and he wrestled in matches which had the riskiest stipulations. Not only did he wrestle in such life-threatening bouts, but he also delivered quality matches to the fans. His Last Man Standing match versus Kevin Owens at Royal Rumble 2016 is one of the best examples.

Given how good Ambrose was with the weapons, he could have had a terrific rivalry with Andrade. El Idolo is perhaps the most underutilized NXT graduate as the WWE Creative has not used him to his maximum potential. In his matches against Rey Mysterio, Andrade has proven that he can go the extra mile to enthuse the fans.

Both superstars possess the characteristic of surprising audiences with their moves, and one can only imagine the popularity this feud would have had if it came to fruition. The addition of Zelina Vega and Renee Young in the mix would have just spiced up this rivalry.

#4 Jeff Hardy

DESTRUCTION!
DESTRUCTION!

Talking about the extremity levels that Dean Ambrose's wrestling arsenal had, a feud with the Charismatic Enigma, Jeff Hardy, would have been absolutely mesmerizing. Jeff Hardy was the maddest superstar of the Attitude Era who took unimaginable risks just for the sake of entertaining the WWE Universe.

He, along with Matt Hardy took the concept of Tables, Ladders and Chairs matches to the next level. Dean Ambrose also has had many memorable hardcore matches in his WWE career, with the TLC match against AJ Styles being the supreme one of them.

It is surprising that despite being on the same roster for almost a year, Dean Ambrose and Jeff Hardy never crossed paths. They had paired up together for tag team matches, when they were a part of the RAW tag team division and even once battled against each other in a tag team bout, also involving Seth Rollins and Matt Hardy.

But, the WWE Universe never got to see a singles match or a rivalry between Dean Ambrose and Jeff Hardy.

#3 Shane McMahon

Shane McMahon is another hardcore legend of the Attitude Era, whose sole goal is to impress the fans with his crazy jumps and dives. Even though his hair has turned grey, the Prodigal Son risks it all just to make sure that the fans go home happy.

Last night at WrestleMania 35, the match between him and the Miz was perhaps the most underrated match of the night. Shane McMahon took a nasty bump when he was superplexed by the A-Lister 15-20 feet above ground level. Shane McMahon has put superstars over with the fans, and thus, it is shocking that the WWE never considered a feud between Dean Ambrose and Shane McMahon.

Both Dean and Shane have pulled off moves which no normal wrestler can, and thus, it puts them in the elite category of superstars who can satisfy the fans of hardcore wrestling even within the constraints of the PG Era.

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura

When Shinsuke Nakamura was called up on the main roster, everyone expected the WWE Creative to unleash him as the King of Strong Style; instead, the Creative team transformed him into an Artist and a non-sensical Rockstar. This left the WWE Universe scratching their heads as the former NXT Champion was being built as a complete chump.

However, all seemed good when Nakamura won the Royal Rumble match of 2018 and set up a dream clash with AJ Styles at WrestleMania 34. The Rockstar failed to repeat his NJPW magic and is currently a part of the SmackDown tag team division.

Nakamura was never given an opportunity to wrestle a top quality superstar as he was pit against the likes of Aiden English, Dolph Ziggler, and other jobbers time and again. Probably, a feud with Dean Ambrose in his initial days may have helped Nakamura establish himself on the main roster.

An appealing build-up to the top was all Nakamura needed to succeed and Dean Ambrose would have been the right guy to kickstart Shinsuke's WWE career.

This feud would have done wonders for Ambrose's career as well, as he would have affirmed his position as the company's most reliable superstar.

#1 Roman Reigns

The friendship that WWE never broke

Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose stayed the best of friends even after the end of the Shield, and the duo gave many memorable matches to the WWE Universe as a tag team. Both had each other's back in their feuds and their relationship defined the true meaning of friendship in WWE.

A time came when these two superstars collided with each other in singles matches and even in multi-man matches, but never did they have a full-fledged feud.

Ambrose and Reigns had collided in the finals of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament at Survivor Series 2015 and that was the only occasion where these two extremely talented superstars wrestled on a pay-per-view.

One never knows the intensity and the buzz this feud would generate if the WWE Creative ever booked it but at the moment, even if Ambrose stays, it does not look like WWE will plan a rivalry involving Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose.
