WrestleMania is just a few days away, and still, the WWE hasn't booked some of the top Superstars. The Undertaker, John Cena, and Dean Ambrose are some of the top names that are yet to receive a match for the show. There are some rumors that The Deadman and the Cenation Leader will be a part of WrestleMania, but an appearance by the Lunatic Fringe is not confirmed. He has been working for WWE for the past few years and has made a considerable name for himself.
But a few months ago, WWE announced that Ambrose (real name – Jonathan Good) would be leaving the company after the biggest show of the year. Some time ago, a rumor also claimed that Dean Ambrose wouldn't appear on WWE television, but it proved to be wrong. WWE did feature Ambrose on Raw, but now, it seems like he won't be getting a match at the Shows Of Shows.
Here are the top five reasons why Vince McMahon isn't interested in booking Dean Ambrose for WrestleMania 35.
#1 He is leaving WWE
As obvious as it may sound, we can't deny the fact that Dean Ambrose is leaving WWE after WrestleMania. When the company officially announced that The Lunatic Fringe would be leaving WWE after April, some fans were confused and shocked at the same time. Some even thought that it is just a storyline to build hype for WrestleMania.
However, now it is looking more and more likely that this isn't a storyline but a real-life situation, and it's a no surprise that Ambrose isn't working WrestleMania - considering the fact that he will be leaving the company soon. It is also possible that the chairman of the board doesn't want Ambrose at WrestleMania because the latter won't be working for him afterward.
Even if the WWE had booked Ambrose for a match then what would it lead to? There isn't any room to tell a story? The way Vince is doing things right now is great and it wouldn't be a wise decision to use Ambrose in any of their shows now.
#2 The card is already stacked
Another reason why Vince didn't book Ambrose for WrestleMania is that the card is already jam-packed with great matches. We are already going to witness more than 15 bouts at the grand stage (considering John Cena is also going to fight at the show), and it won't be a great choice to book more matches at the show. Ambrose is a fantastic wrestler who can lock horns at any time, but we also have to agree that it will only stretch WrestleMania's air time.
A lot of fans are already upset over the fact that this pay-per-view is going to be 6-7 hours long and if WWE books more matches, it would only add insult to injury. But is it the main reason why Ambrose isn't booked for the show? I don't have any evidence, but it could be one of them.
#3 WWE doesn't have an ideal opponent for Dean Ambrose
Let's say that time is not an issue for WWE. They can add a couple of more matches to the show. But what would they do if there isn't an ideal opponent for a Superstar? The answer is simple, that wrestler won't get a match. It has happened before and could be the case with Dean Ambrose too. Almost every big Superstar is going to perform at WrestleMania, and only a few of them are not yet booked for the show. From Roman reigns to Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar to Ronda Rousey and Drew McIntyre to Bobby Lashley, everyone is busy with their own storylines.
So there aren't many opponents left for Ambrose at the show, which could be a reason why he doesn't have a match at WrestleMania. However, this may not be entirely applicable as some top Superstars are still available to perform at the show.
#4 Vince has other plans for the Lunatic Fringe
As you already know, Dean Ambrose isn't the only Superstar who is yet to get booked for WrestleMania 35. There are a two more wrestlers who still don't have a match confirmed for the pay-per-view - John Cena is one of them.
According to a rumor, Cena is set to face a mystery opponent at the Grandest Stage Of Them All. The Undertaker or Lars Sullivan are two Superstars who could be Cena's opponent but right now, both seem unlikely to perform at the show.
The Undertaker hasn't wrestled a single match since WWE Crown Jewel and Sullivan is currently on a hiatus due to his mental illness. So there is a possibility that Cena could face Ambrose at WrestleMania. Evidently, there isn't a storyline ready for these Superstars to face each other, but a one-off match isn't a bad thing. Having a match against Ambrose will allow The Cenation Leader to write him off the television.
#5 Too many farewell matches are already booked for the show
WWE has already announced that Kurt Angle will be wrestling his final bout at WrestleMania. However, there are many other superstars who could also bid farewell to the WWE Universe at this event.
Brock Lesnar, for instance, is expected to lose his Universal Championship at this pay-per-view which means that he will also be leaving WWE for some time. Another Superstar that is expected to leave is Ronda Rousey, who is likely to lose her Raw Women's Championship to Becky Lynch at WrestleMania.
Fans are already going to be in tears when the Olympic Gold Medallist retires, and in my opinion, Ambrose's match would only make things worse. After all, WrestleMania should be an entertaining pay-per-view rather than an emotional one.
Do you think Dean Ambrose deserves a farewell match at WrestleMania? Let me know in the comments below...
