Curtis Axel and Dean Ambrose promo
Axel came out and talked about how Erick Rowan stopped him from ever being eliminated from the Royal Rumble Match, and how he deserves a shot at Brock Lesnar. Axel then comically climbed to the second-rope, in order to do the iconic pose, pointing at the WrestleMania sign.
Ambrose interrupted him, as they brawled and Ambrose threw him over the top rope, saying, “You’re eliminated.”
Ambrose said he took a walk after the Rumble, all the way to WWE Headquarters, through the snow. He said he saw a wall that was covered in head shots of former Intercontinental Champions, and he wanted to join them. He also noted that he recently beat Bad News Barrett in a non-title match, and felt he was in-line for a title shot.
Axel then climbed back in the ring and got the upper-hand on Ambrose, but Ambrose came back with the Nigel rebound lariat, and went on to finish Axel off with Dirty Deeds.
Axel was really funny to open this segment, and Ambrose was great at the end. I really think Ambrose is back, after that feud with Bray Wyatt.
