- Ambrose and Jericho kick-off feud
It was ridiculously fun to have Chris Jericho host himself on The Highlight Reel. You knew somebody was going to interrupt him and it had to be Dean Ambrose. The audience erupted for him.
It had to be this way for Ambrose coming off a pretty disappointing WrestleMania where he wasn’t allowed to put up much of a fight against Brock Lesnar. But what followed was not particularly hard hitting.
It was played into Ambrose’s endearingly funny lunatic character. He hijacked Jericho’s show until he mentioned that this show had been cancelled and was now being replaced by the ‘Ambrose Asylum’.
If this is a long term thing, it’s quite interesting for Ambrose’s character. Also, this has finally kicked off the feud between Jericho and Ambrose. But one can’t help but wonder what the WWE is doing with him despite his overwhelming popularity.
He was on the road to having quite a breakthrough year. While a loss to Triple H elevated his character, the feud with Lesnar made it even better but that match at WrestleMania was a rude shock.
