Many thought that this documentary would shed some light behind the exact reason why Dean Ambrose turned heel. The truth is, behind all the intense camerawork and Dean Ambrose's ability to blend kayfabe and reality perfectly, the primary purpose of this chronicle of events is to make the viewer think by posing more questions than leaving answers.

"Why, Dean, Why?"

Perhaps we are supposed to draw out our own interpretations of why he did what he did. Maybe all the frustrations that we see from the very first scene to the very last scene built up to Ambrose snapping at the end.

Dean's ability to act in unscripted situations is highlighted at its best here. Because of the character's unhinged, unstable and unpredictable personality, we don't really get to know the real reason behind his actions. But what we do realise is that Ambrose only hints towards the real reason without fully revealing it.

The last scene of the documentary shows Ambrose walking around in the desert after betraying Seth Rollins, away from everyone, and he leaves us with the following words:

"I told you when we started this thing...I said I'm not gonna read some script & try to play out some fantasy happy ending, that's not my life (pause) Most people nowadays, they wanna be something more than what they are, so they pretend to be something that they're not.
They try to project this image to the world, with what they put out there, and I don't relate to people like that & that's most people. And you're that disingenuous of a person that you can't even be honest with yourself, I apologize for nothing...absolutely nothing"

So if you haven't figured it out yet, WWE Chronicle serves as a platform for superstars to deliver unscripted promos, complimented with real-life situations. It tells a story through an impressive production style.

The chronicle of events appears more cinematic and visually pleasing than your weekly RAW & SmackDown Live shows, pushing itself to be termed as one of the most thought-provoking WWE Network shows of 2018.
