10 WWE Wrestlers Who Lost Their Mojo

10. Dean Ambrose

Sticking it to Dean Ambrose became popular on the internet about a year ago after his appearance on Stone Cold Steve Austin's podcast, during which the Texas Rattlesnake suggested that he was sometimes guilty of phoning it in.

Some of this criticism, it must be said, seems awfully harsh. Dean might not be one of the crispest performers on the WWE roster, but you can't really go accusing somebody of being lazy when they work the ungodly amount of matches he has over recent years.

What can be said about the Lunatic Fringe is that he didn't really grow into the role of WWE champion in 2016 the way many of us expected, his damp squib of a reign coming to a close after defeat to AJ Styles in the autumn.

Since then, it does seem like he's lost something. He's no longer a down-on-his-luck main eventer in-waiting, but rather someone whose time in the spotlight appears to have come and passed, largely unenjoyed. A change of tack is needed if he is to recapture his best form (and next year's expected heel turn ought to do it).
