4.) Dean Ambrose vs Brock Lesnar
Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar facing off on paper makes total sense. It is a great idea as it allows us to see a star being made in Ambrose and another star perform against an opponent that can make him look good in Lesnar. On paper, the match made sense for Ambrose as Lesnar could get him over and to a place that no one had seen him in before. Meanwhile, Lesnar needed Ambrose to push him to the limit.
On paper, it all made sense. In reality, this match was highly disappointing. The barbwire bat and chainsaw he was given both made appearances and were never used. This was mainly a suplex fest for Lesnar and one F5 on chairs beat Ambrose. We saw him work like a champ against Seth Rollins who put him through far more. Yet he couldn’t do the same sort of thing with Lesnar?

What was the point in this match? No one won out of it. Ambrose looked weaker than he has been. Lesnar even put on one of his worst matches. Quality wise, it disappointed greatly but then having Ambrose lose was absolutely stupid. Ambrose needed to win in order for people to take him seriously as a possible main eventer. A loss to Lesnar just killed off all that momentum he was building up.
