It really looked like WWE would book Brock vs. Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 32. Bray had teamed with Luke Harper at Roadblock the prior month, but lost a handicap effort vs. Lesnar. Then, creative moved on to other things without really putting a bow on the story at all.

Suddenly, Dean Ambrose was slotted in as a last-minute replacement so Brock could take one of those tasty 'Mania paydays. Their feud, one relying on the thought that Deano might use a chainsaw, was terribly rushed - it also came across loud and clear during the build that Lesnar didn't give a toss about it.

Then, come show time, he phoned it in with one of his weakest supershow performances.

Ambrose/Jon Moxley has since said that Brock pretty much buried him as a nobody on WWE's grandest stage. That didn't sit well (obviously), but Lesnar didn't really care. Go back and watch the match now; you can almost see Brock flicking the autopilot switch on.

He wasn't keen to work with Ambrose and make the match special.
