Dean Ambrose is a dangerous man.The Cincinnati scrapper began his path to WWE with a fearless career on the independent scene, notable for his abilityboth to absorb and to distribute punishment in equal measure. Through his years toiling away in obscurity, Ambrose competed in some of the most vicious environments imaginable, sacrificing his body and blood in the pursuit of inflicting as much damage on his opponent as humanly possible. Victory was incidental. What mattered to Ambrose was always the message.The trend would continue upon Ambrose’s arrival in WWE’s developmental territory. The young Superstar had barely set foot in the big leagues when he laid down a challenge at the feet of William Regal, ultimately competing with the Englishman in a brutal one-on-one match that left Regal scarred and Ambrose with a dislocated shoulder.When asked for his motivation behind such incidents, Ambrose’s response waschilling. “Just to see what would happen,I get bored,” he said. “When theres a hornets nest buzzing, I’ve got to poke it. I like violence. I like danger. I live life to feel alive."Such was Ambrose’s unpredictability that he was not permitted to compete after NXT moved to Full Sail University. But true to form, he would not be held down from spreading his own personal brand of chaos to WWE. Along with NXT Champion Seth Rollins and the towering Roman Reigns, Ambrose made his most dangerous movement yet when the threesome attacked Ryback at Survivor Series 2012, driving the beast through a table and repeating the feat the next night on Raw. Ambrose led the charge, wildly hurling his body into Ryback and initiating the brutal beatdown perpetuated by his comrades.The trio took up the name of “The Shield”— black-clad advocates of justice in a WWE they believed had lost its way — and announced themselves as the most impressive sports-entertainment trio since the days when The Fabulous Freebirds terrorized Dallas. In the months after they debuted as a united front, The Shield was literally unstoppable as a unit, taking out every Superstar that stood in their path, from John Cena to The Rock. Even The Undertaker was not safe from their wrath,and it wasn’t long before the three Superstars captured championship gold:Rollins & Reigns became WWE Tag TeamChampions, and Ambrose the U.S. Champion, a title he would claim for nearly a year.The Shield’s boom period continued during their alliance with Triple H’s corporate Authority in 2013, though they would eventually turn against The King of Kings in 2014, leading to the reformation of Evolution in an attempt to combat them. When that failed, Triple H recruited Rollins to The Authority and dismantled The Shield from within. Ambrose made it a point to target Rollinsover the next several weeks, though his former brother-in-arms continued to antagonize him. Unforunately Tor the Lunatic Fringe, Seth Rollins’ plan came to fruition at WWE Money in the Bank 2014 when Ambrose was taken out of the equation thanks to the help of Demon Kane, allowing Rollins to grab thebriefcase for a guaranteed WWE World Heavyweight Championship opportunity.Ambrose vowed to keep Rollins from cashing in, but was eventually waylaid bythe returning Bray Wyatt, who he battled for the remainder of the year.At the start of the new year, Ambrose found himself in a race alongside six other Superstars in a Ladder Match for the Intercontinetal Title at WrestleMania 31 before eventually challenging Rollins once again for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship his former brother had won at The Show of Shows. When The Lunatic Fringe fell short in his pursuit of the gold, he re-entered The Wyatt Familys orbit by joining Reigns for family turf war against The Eater of Worlds that included a team-up with Chris Jericho at Night of Champions. Once that rivalry was concluded, Ambrose was entered into a tournament for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, which had been vacated thanks to an injury that stripped Rollins of the title. The Lunatic Fringe fought his way to a showdown against Reigns in the finals at Survivor Series and ultimately lost the friendly yet intense contest, though Reigns himself was vanquished moments later by the new Mr. Money in the Bank, Sheamus.Never one to dwell on a tough loss, Ambrose once again set his sights on the Intercontinental Championship, defeating Dolph Ziggler and Tyler Breeze to punch his ticket to WWE TLC, where hell challenge Owens once again with the title on the line.
