What will become of Dean Ambrose if he doesn't defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 32? A clean loss to Triple H in a WWE Title match is one thing, but the babyface would look especially weak if he dropped to another top star at 'Mania, regardless of Lesnar being a unique entity.

Unless there's a heel turn coming from Ambrose post-WrestleMania, he really needs the win more than Brock Lesnar does. Lesnar has an aura about him that goes beyond WWE. For his part, Ambrose has an aura too, but unlike his 'Mania opponent it relies much more on actual professional wrestling than anything else he has achieved outside the industry.

A turn could be triggered by another defeat, but there's a case to be made that Dean Ambrose must now come out on top at WrestleMania. If he doesn't, he risks going down a not-too-dissimilar path to Bray Wyatt. In other words, constantly unable to back up his bold words when push comes to the shove in major matches.
