In the modern era of WWE, there have been only a very few numbers of consistently compelling and storied rivalries. One of these rivalries is Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose. Everybody expected Ambrose to be the one who would turn heel on his Shield brethren, but it was Rollins instead.

It turned out to be a revelation as Ambrose and Rollins feuded with each other, giving us a really fun time watching Raw. These two would never disappoint with their shenanigans all through their 2014 feud. It was certainly the best installment of their seeming never ending story.

Their match at SummerSlam is always overshadowed by their later clash at Hell in a Cell, or other matches between the pair in 2015. It is genuinely underrated despite receiving rave reviews as one of the best bouts on a night filled with gripping entertainment and massive moments.

This match must also be appreciated for the fact that it was possibly the only good Lumberjack Match in WWE history. The story was great, with Rollins trying to escape his betrayed brother and the entire roster trying to contain the two.

They brawled in the stands till they eventually entered the ring, where Dean Ambrose fought off Corporate Kane before getting nailed in the head with Seth Rollins' Money in the Bank briefcase.

It was an extremely fun match to watch, especially Ambrose's performance. He may have lost, but his antics throughout this feud with The Architect would make him a beloved member of the roster.

We cannot wait to see him return to action, possibly he could turn heel on Rollins and give us a different version of this feud we have loved for years. This Lumberjack Match should always be remembered for being the first match in what should really become one of the greatest rivalries in WWE history.
