Was Dean Ambrose Planned to Make a Cameo at WrestleMania 40 Main Event Between Roman Reigns-Cody Rhodes? Details Inside
Read to find out - was former WWE champion and member of The Shield faction Dean Ambrose approached for making a surprise cameo at WrestleMania 40?
The ending of WrestleMania 40 was no less than the ending of Avengers: Endgame with the final match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes on Sunday. Fans witnessed a back-and-forth battle between Team Cody Rhodes and Team Roman Reigns.
WWE fans witnessed multiple cameos from The Rock, John Cena, The Undertaker, and Seth Rollins, who came out in his Shield attire and theme song to break Roman Reigns mentally.
One cameo played the most crucial part in Roman Reigns' loss, and that was Seth Rollins. The Drip God came out wearing Shield attire with a steel chair, trying to recreate the ultimate betrayal moment when he swung the chair at the back of Roman Reigns and broke The Shield.
Roman Reigns was quick enough to counter Seth Rollins. He had a choice to take a shot at one man in the ring, either Cody Rhodes or Seth Rollins. The Tribal Chief picked Seth Rollins and chose to repay him for his betrayal.
