10 Times Brock Lesnar's Ego Ran Wild In WWE

9. Shortchanging Dean Ambrose

Lesnar's history of half-assing it at WrestleMania continued at 32, when he and Dean Ambrose met in what should've been a violent Street Fight. It promised much, with WWE even bringing legendary hardcore artist Terry Funk in during the build, but they laid a giant egg that night, and it was largely Brock's fault.

'The Beast Incarnate' dominated his smaller opponent. He walked through countless weapons spots (symbolically snapping a kendo stick over his own knee at one point), and gave Ambrose next to nothing. 'The Lunatic Fringe' was largely restricted to hopeful comebacks, and after barely landing a blow on his monstrous opponent, Dean was defeated in just over 13 minutes.

A bout that should have been one of the night's biggest highlights went down like a wet fart because Brock didn't feel like wrestling. The fans weren't the only ones left disappointed, though. Ambrose famously shot on Lesnar's lack of effort during an appearance on the Stone Cold Podcast a few months later, stating that while he was originally excited to wrestle Brock, he felt let down by the Streak-breaker. Hard to blame him, really.
