9 Biggest Opportunities WWE Missed At Wrestlemania 32

7. Everything About The Street Fight

Do any sort of fantasy booking post-Rumble (">it'll have paled in comparison to ours, but whatever) and nobody had Ambrose with Lesnar. Both had more interesting angles to explore, different motivations for their characters, and potential long-term feuds to be starting out on. Lesnar either had a title to reclaim or a Wyatt family to eat; Ambrose had a niche to carve out or a "brother" that needed his head kicked in.

Regardless, the idea of getting two of the most enjoyable performers in the company to knock the living snot out of each other was still a tantalising prospect. The weapons element giving Ambrose a much needed equaliser and the potential to potentially maybe cause a potential upset. Potentially.

Instead, we got a match that ran about 90 seconds longer than the Diva's tag on the pre-show. 90% of which was just Brock Lesnar administering a German Suplex while the crowd counted him up. Ambrose would occasionally get on top, but any offence was quickly countered into the same old throw.

There was potential for two things here. Cement Ambrose as an impossible-to-kill mega face who takes the beating of his life but never gives up, or spring the feel-good upset of the year. The first way could have involved making the referee stop the match, having him pass out, or have Lesnar shaking his hand at the end. The other involved actually using the chainsaw or the barbed wire, instead of just pointlessly teasing them prior to the 47th and 82nd German Suplexes.

In the end, we got little more than a drawn-out squash that enhanced neither man's standing.
