The man who would go on to become the undisputed 'Ace of All Elite Wrestling' Jon Moxley made his WWE main roster singles debut as Dean Ambrose against none other than the legendary Undertaker in April 2013.

Not a bad first night at the office, right?

But weirdly enough, this wasn't actually the first time he'd made a main roster debut alongside 'The Deadman'.

Jumping all the way back to 2006, a Mox fresh off of a try-out appearance on Velocity was given the chance to be a part of 'The Phenom's chilling return entrance at that year's Royal Rumble.

And it was here when he appeared as a druid holding one of 'Taker's torches before the spooky big man fired out lightning from his hands to freak out Kurt Angle.

A few more try-outs and years later, and this hooded extra would finally be handed a developmental deal, kicking off a WWE run which would ultimately lead to WWE Championship glory. 

It may not have fully worked out for the one-time druid following the Shield's break-up and a WWE exit eventually went down in 2019. But it was here when the 'Purveyor of Violence' rediscovered who he really was - a violent force to be feared, and one who would also lift AEW and IWGP World Championships in the years to come.
