5 Creative ideas rejected by WWE Superstars

CM Punk, Triple H, Dean Ambrose, and Brock Lesnar

#3 Brock Lesnar isn't interested in Dean Ambrose's creative pitches

The 2016 Royal Rumble match ended with Triple H eliminating Dean Ambrose to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Ambrose had received a huge pop that night and was incredibly popular among the WWE Universe at the time. He got into a feud with Brock Lesnar on the road to WWE WrestleMania 32, and fans couldn't be more excited at the prospect of witnessing an epic battle between The Beast and The Lunatic Fringe. The match was a huge let-down though.

Ambrose later opened up on the challenges of working with Lesnar and stated that he simply wasn't interested in Ambrose's creative ideas for the match.

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

So we have this conference call. Conference call comes, I lay it out. Nobody says anything, I’m like, ‘Okay, here are all my ideas’ I give like every idea I’ve had for the past three weeks that nobody wants to listen to. Brock’s probably not even listening, and he just goes, ‘I mean, I don’t think we need all that stuff. I mean, all that extra gimmicks and stuff. It’s just a simple story. I mean look, you go to Suplex City, you get your hands on a weapon and make a comeback.’

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
