10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About WrestleMania 40
7. Fans Popped For Dean Ambrose
Fans were sent into a frenzy when The Shield's iconic music played during the main event.
This unexpected moment led many to believe that Jon Moxley, formerly known as Dean Ambrose in WWE, was making a surprise return.
The anticipation was palpable as the familiar theme echoed through the arena, with fans eagerly looking through the crowd for Moxley's arrival. However, it was soon revealed that the entrance was a clever ploy by Seth Rollins, who emerged alone in his Shield gear, which certainly fooled Corey Graves on commentary.
Despite the initial excitement, in quickly became clear that Ambrose wasn't there. In reality, Mox was in Japan at the time, completely unaware of the commotion his former faction's music had caused. Moxley later commented on the incident, expressing amusement at the fans' reaction and clarifying that he had been asleep when the event took place, like most UK fans during the last matches of WrestleMania 35...
The moment highlighted the enduring legacy of The Shield and the deep connection fans still feel with its members, even years after their split.
