No Wyatts Please

 Please note that this post was written before the March 28, 2016, episode of Monday Night Raw. As a result, the elements from that episode that affected the street fight match between Brock Lesnar and Dean Ambrose were not taken into account during the writing of this post.

Wrestlemania 32 is days away, and the match I am looking forward to the most is the street fight between “the Beast,” Brock Lesnar, and the Cincinnati’s “Lunatic Fringe,” Dean Ambrose. The storyline leading up this match has been exceptional as it has had the best buildup when compared to other bouts on the card. What started as a brief encounter in February during the buildup to WWE Fastlane 2016 has morphed into a compelling wrestling story that has captivated audiences everywhere. Lesnar has lived up to his “Beast” moniker and Ambrose has become arguably the biggest face in WWE today as his “never say die” attitude, charisma, and wrestling skill has gotten him over in a huge way with wrestling fans.

People knew these the two had chemistry the moment Ambrose went face to face with Lesnar back In February. It was the most electrifying segment on Raw in 2016 up to that point, and the fans responded in a positive way. WWE captured lightening in a bottle and proceeded to run with it as the street fight between the most over guy on the current roster in Lesnar and the most over face on the current roster in Ambrose could steal the show in front of a crowd of over 100,000 people. It should be a great match. My only problem with it is the Wyatts.

The Wyatt Family has seemingly been inserted into the Lesnar versus Ambrose storyline with the purpose of interfering during their Wrestlemania 32 street fight. Whenever Ambrose or Lesnar is on screen, the Wyatts make an appearance. It was reported that WWE originally had Lesnar taking on Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania 32. Personally I was not a fan of that decision as a match between the “Beast” and the “Eater of Worlds” did not and still does not really excite me. That is why I was thrilled when it was announced that Ambrose would take on Lesnar instead.

When WWE started to throw the Wyatts into the mix, I thought that it was to keep Ambrose busy when Lesnar was not appearing on WWE television for the week and as a way to book Lesnar for the Roadblock event. I have since been proven wrong. WWE is strongly hinting at a Wyatt Family interference, and that is something that I do not want to see.

The buildup for the match between Ambrose and Lesnar has been really good. It focused on Ambrose wanting to prove that he can go toe to toe with the best in the business and Lesnar wanting to extract revenge for Ambrose knocking him out of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Number One Contender Triple Threat Match at Fastlane 2016. Now that the Wyatts have been added to the equation, I feel like it has taken away from what had been a great storyline.

I hope that Lesnar and Ambrose have an epic clash that blows the roof off AT&T Stadium without interference from the Wyatts. This has the making of a match of the year candidate and could be a bout that is talked about for years to come. In order for that to happen, the finish must be clean. No swerves. No screw job finish. No Wyatts. Just the “Beast” and the “Lunatic Fringe” squaring off at the showcase of the immortals.
