8 Big Reasons WWE Fans Should Be Excited For WrestleMania 32

1. Dean Ambrose Gets The Nod vs. The Beast Incarnate

Let€™s face it, this is the match we never thought we wanted until we got it. The prospect of Dean Ambrose fighting Brock Lesnar months ago would have been deemed laughable, at best, but the steam that Ambrose has gotten over the past few weeks in his never-say-die chest-bumping of Brock Lesnar has been a welcomed sight on Monday Night RAW. This has been a feud with one-sided intense physicality, and it€™s showcasing the gutsiness of Ambrose rather than making his character a goofball. It€™s a breath of fresh air for him. The alternative that was talked about in the dirt sheets and rumor mills months ago was Brock going nose-to-nose with the likes of The Rock, which felt lukewarm at best. The only way for the WWE to cure this thin roster problem is by building their own stars from within. How do you do that? By taking already established talent, like Lesnar, and having them rub elbows with your budding superstars. The WWE is making the right call with this one. This is a match that needs to happen for the future of the company.
Look, Dean isn€™t coming out on top against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. If I were a betting man, I€™d go all-in against him. But what€™s important is that the WWE feel so strongly about Ambrose that instead of calling in a part-timer or returning face, they€™ve given him the spotlight in one of the biggest matches on the card€”one of the money matches that people will pay attention to at their biggest show of the year. Expect Ambrose to walk away with a hard-fought loss in the only believable environment where he could win against the Beast Incarnate: a street fight. He will gain the type of momentum that only a guy like Lesnar can provide on the grandest stage of them all. As Steve Austin excelled in a loss to Bret Hart, expect the same of Dean Ambrose€”especially if Brock Lesnar gives a sign of respect thereafter.
