10 Hidden Times WWE Stars Broke Character

10. Snake Charmer

It took the artist formerly known as Dean Ambrose to leave WWE to find the type of pro wrestling that really made him smile on a regular basis, but one of the most serious men in the game couldn't hide his joy when stuck on the wrong end of a Hall Of Famer's legendary attack.

The January 6th 2014 edition of Monday Night Raw had taken on the "Old School" theme, welcoming back various legendary names and old aesthetics to bring some ratings-grabbing nostalgia to a pre-Royal Rumble flagship edition of the show. When it looked as though The Shield might have had the measure of CM Punk, the stage was very literally set former company favourites New Age Outlaws and Jake 'The Snake' Roberts to tip the scales and send 'The Hounds Of Justice' packing.

Well, two of them. Ambrose was the victim of the night, and had the privilege of suffering the nightmare fate - he had the snake dropped on his face, but was simply too thrilled to sell it as anything other than a young wrestling fan-turned-star ticking something substantial off his bucket list.
