What we learned from watching the WWE this week: April 28, 2017

#2 Dean Ambrose is slowly getting back to form

A good week to be a lunatic

In my 10 questions from Wrestlemania, we most need Answering article for Sportskeeda, I asked whether Dean Ambrose even cared anymore about being a WWE superstar. Ever since his fantastic rivalry with Seth Rollins in 2014, Ambrose has been on a downward trend. His matches and promo segments have felt half-hearted, and he has done nothing much to progress his character for the past three years.

Thankfully, however, his transition to Raw, as part of the superstar shake-up, seems to have done him a world of good. This week he was involved in both the opening segment and the main event match-up. The chemistry he had with The Miz last week was still apparent here, but it was his comedy interplay with Chris Jericho that made him shine on Monday night.

On a good day, Ambrose has the ability to be the Chris Jericho of the new era. Although their in-ring styles are very different, they both have the talent to mix serious and comedy segments together and adapt to the situation accordingly.

It was refreshing to see the WWE mention the previous feud between the two, with Ambrose buying Jericho a new jacket and Jericho reminding Dean that he owed him $15,000 for destroying the old one. Both men, when they can be bothered, try that little bit harder to make a program work, and for that, we should be appreciative.

If Dean can keep this up for a few more weeks, and provided he doesn’t fall too far down the pecking order when Roman Reigns returns, we could see a permanent return to form for the Lunatic Fringe.
