WWE WrestleMania 33 results: Dean Ambrose vs Baron Corbin full video highlights
At WrestleMania 33, Dean Ambrose defended the Intercontinental Championship against Baron Corbin? Did The Lunatic Fringe retain the gold?
In what was shaped to be the one of the most physical matches of the night at WrestleMania 33, Dean Ambrose defended the Intercontinental Championship on the Kickoff Show against Baron Corbin.
The feud between the two had been building for weeks with Ambrose eliminating Corbin in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship (which was won by Bray Wyatt) and it came to a head at WrestleMania.
Corbin hit the ring first and strolled down the 80-yard-long ramp on Sunday night (which doesn’t even seem something that should be done, but it’s WrestleMania), followed by the champion.
It didn’t take these two long to get the action going, with Corbin getting the upper hand on the champion in the early going by sending Ambrose into one of the ring posts.
Ambrose was able to bounce back later on the match by avoiding a big shot from Corbin attempting to attacks his previously-injured ribs, which sent The Lone Wolf into the ring post himself.
The two continued to beat the mess out of each other, including Corbin eventually taking another risk and crashing into the steel steps on the outside.
The brawl looked like naptime because neither man could move for a bit.
As the action spilled back into the ring, Corbin had Ambrose scouted the vintage (that’s for you, Michael Cole) Ambrose bounce off the ropes and drill a big clothesline.
Corbin continued to control the action, but he wasn’t in control when it mattered most. As The Lone Wolf looked to drill the End of Days on the champion and walk out with the title, Ambrose counted Corbin’s attempt at a finish with a finish of his own: Dirty Deeds.
It was enough and Ambrose left Camping World Stadium still Intercontinental Champion.
Yep, still a lunatic.
With Ambrose retaining the gold, what’s next for The Lunatic Fringe?
