#4. Former WWE Champion Dean Ambrose was born - December 7th, 1985

Dean Ambrose became one of the biggest names in WWE up until 2019 when he made the move over to AEW and became Jon Moxley. He has since gone on to become one of the biggest names in professional wrestling.

Moxley was born Jonathan Good on December 7th, 1985. The former champion grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and has noted several times that his childhood was somewhat deprived. As a youngster, he was forced to shoplift to get by and used wrestling as a way to escape his rough upbringing.

Ambrose made his WWE debut alongside Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns in The Shield at Survivor Series back in 2012. From there, the trio went on to become one of the most popular stables in WWE history, before their split in June 2014.

The Lunatic Fringe was then able to lift the company's biggest title and become the focus on SmackDown in 2016, before making the decision to leave the company in 2019.

Following his departure, Ambrose returned to the name he previously used on the independent circuit of Jon Moxley and has since become AEW World Champion.
