WWE likes to position its Superstars as entertainers and not wrestlers. The phrase Sports Entertainment has irked many pro wrestling fans throughout the years, with a very vocal group of fans preferring talents be presented more as wrestlers than actors.

In WWE, Dean Ambrose was presented first and foremost as an entertainer, and less so as a pro wrestler. During interviews following his WWE departure, Ambrose admitted his displeasure with having to perform scripted promos, recommending WWE hire an actor should they need one. Ambrose has also called wrestling in a WWE ring "restricting", something he found bothersome during his run in the company.

Jon Moxley, on the other hand, has been presented thus far as a fighter and a wrestler, and his in-ring work has certainly showcased his staunch physicality over his ability to entertain on the microphone.

With Moxley currently offering a very physically demanding style in the G1 Climax tournament, it's clear the former Dean Ambrose is looking to shed the skin of his entertaining moniker and establish himself as a true in-ring force.
