Dean Ambrose morphed into a tweener in recent weeks. He became a face with an edge. He finally took a role that he seemed to look more comfortable with. I know he's been one of the more popular faces in recent years, but the loss of all the goofiness has been for the betterment of his work on screen.

However, all the work Dean has been putting in to make his character more serious was forgotten about in one fell swoop as he returned to being an oaf after being announced as the special guest referee for Styles vs. Ellsworth.

Dean pulled all sorts out of his pocket with the sole aim of getting a cheap pop from the crowd. Playing cards, a hip flask, a chain and tic tacs were all removed from his pockets and plonked into the hands of AJ... BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY, REALLY FUNNY! YEAH?!

Months of character development ruined in the blink of an eye. I can't wait for those weekly shenanigans that fail to get the crowd poppin' more often than not to make a return.
