When: WWE WrestleMania 32

Dean 'Not Quite Jon Moxley Again' Ambrose must've been in dreamland weeks before tangling with Brock Lesnar at 'Mania 32. WWE dropped the goofiest side of Dean's onscreen personality, and played up to his CZW origins by letting Ambrose tease ultra-violence in skits with heroes like Mick Foley and Terry Funk.

Everything from a barbed wire baseball bat to a f*cking chainsaw was teased during passionate skits that saw legends encourage Dean to literally "cut down" Brock on the biggest show of the year. Sadly, Lesnar wasn't really feeling the thought of working with Ambrose, and he phoned in his performance overall.

Their match turned into a semi-squash.

It was slow, the violence wasn't anywhere near as extreme as the build suggested it would be, and (again) Brock was visibly disinterested. Let's just say this was incredibly poor lead-in to Dean's WWE Title win later the same year.
