10 Recent WWE Rivalries That Underwhelmed In The Ring
2. Dean Ambrose Vs. Bray Wyatt
Around the same time AJ Lee and Paige were putting on matches that under-delivered, Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt were embroiled in a ruthless rivalry as well, or at least it was supposed to be a ruthless rivalry. We never truly found out why Wyatt was targeting Ambrose in the fall of 2014, but what was clear was that their matches really weren't that great.
Their initial outing at Survivor Series ended on a disqualification, so it was understandable that the matchup wasn't too memorable. They then had the chance to steal the show in the main event of the next month's pay-per-view in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match, but there no sense of a story told and both men didn't come across as motivated whatsoever.
Ambrose and Wyatt followed up that disappointing performance with another underwhelming encounter on the premiere episode of Raw in 2015, this time in an Ambulance match. Ambrose losing every single time killed any momentum he might have had, but regardless of the outcomes, they just didn't gel as well as expected.
