5 years of The Shield: Dean Ambrose's best and worst moments in WWE

#9 Worst: WrestleMania 33 kickoff show

When it comes to WrestleMania, Dean Ambrose hasn’t had the best of luck. At WrestleMania 31, he was put in a seven-man ladder match while his Shield partners were main-eventing; at WrestleMania 32, he had a match with “lazy” Brock Lesnar; at WrestleMania 33, he was demoted to the kickoff show.

Originally, Ambrose was set to defend his Intercontinental Championship against Baron Corbin on the WrestleMania 33 main show, but it surprisingly started 15 minutes before the broadcast and was included at the end of the kickoff show.

The match itself was disappointing, at least for WrestleMania standards, and Ambrose retained in a regular encounter that you would expect to see on Raw or SmackDown Live.
