Not many workers would laugh if a giant snake was dropped on top of them, but Dean Ambrose did. AEW's reborn mauler Jon Moxley wasn't giggling at the reptile though - he was corpsing because of something CM Punk said when standing over him.

Punk had just finished wrestling Roman Reigns in the main event of WWE's retro Raw on 6 January 2014. He stayed inside the ring when Jake Roberts walked out to work the snake spot, and he couldn't resist having some fun. Hilariously, he said, "That snake sh*t on your face!". Ambrose was a goner after that.

He visibly smiled and laughed on camera despite selling Roberts' famed DDT.

Moxley hasn't revealed in interviews since whether or not WWE management were angry with him for breaking character. It wouldn't be a surprise if they were. Dean Ambrose was an important part of The Shield's aggression, and he didn't normally giggle at pranks like a little schoolboy.
