10 Jaw-Dropping Answers To Wrestling Open Challenges

10. The Lunatic Fringe

Cena began his U.S. Title Open Challenge the night after WrestleMania 31, where he saved America from the evil clutches of Rusev. Taking the moniker of “fighting champion” to heart, Cena invited anyone on the roster to step up for a title shot. The crowd roared as Dean Ambrose swaggered down the ramp.

Besides being a fresh matchup between two of the most popular stars, it felt like the Lunatic Fringe was about to be coronated. After all, Cena was a multi-time World champion and face of the company – he didn’t need a secondary belt. On the other hand, Ambrose was spinning his wheels in the midcard, desperate to gain similar success as his former Shield brethren.

Although Cena turned back the challenge, Ambrose showed he could hang with the champ. He reversed the Attitude Adjustment into Dirty Deeds, and even locked Cena in his own submission.
