When Ambrose came onto the WWE scene in 2012 as part of The Shield with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, Ambrose started being described as “The Lunatic Fringe.” Outside the ring, Ambrose passes for sane. Inside the ring, given his talent and connection to fans, the nickname has helped him become a headliner on the WWE roster.

That character will be on display Saturday, July 15, when the WWE Live SummerSlam Heatwave Tour makes a stop at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena. Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. show range from $20 to $100 and are available at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena box office, via Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.

Ambrose and Seth Rollins are set to take on The Miztourage of Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel.

“I feel like I’m a pretty sensible individual,” Ambrose said in a telephone interview. “I don’t feel unhinged (another characterization). It is what it is. Michael Cole (WWE announcer on “Monday Night Raw” and pay-per-views) said it on TV enough times it clicked. I’m used to it. You know you get labels put on. In the ring, I don’t care. I fly by the seat of my pants, do whatever I feel like doing. Don’t worry about the consequences.”

Ambrose was raised in Cincinnati but now calls Las Vegas home. He was fearless at the outset on the independent circuit in the early 2000s with the ring name Jon Moxley. He could take punishment and dish it out all the way to the top in WWE. He’s also done a movie with John Cena and Randy Orton.

“It’s tough in any line of work to get to the top,” Ambrose said. “You can’t quit when times get rough. Things are going to happen to you. You have to believe in your abilities to do the stuff and put your nose to the grindstone. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow. I’ve had an incredible journey. I love to do what I’m doing. I’ve been fortunate to travel the world. All kinds of memories, stories.”

The Shield hit it big when they came onto the WWE scene. As time passed, storylines had the trio split and go to singles. Ambrose has had to face Reigns and Rollins on several occasions.

“They threw us right to the wolves. We clicked immediately,” Ambrose said. “We go week to week. We’d figure it out, did a lot on the fly. It all worked out. It’s a means to an end. Three new guys come in and kick the door down. It’s very rare three personalities work like that. You could tell we resonate with people. I’ve made way more money, got a lot more things done, a lot more work without them.”

Ambrose said he and Rollins look forward to the tag match. Axel and Dallas played a role in The Miz beating Ambrose at the Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view Sunday, July 9, to retain the Intercontinental championship.

“We’ve got issues after Sunday,” Ambrose said. “Plan is to go in and slap them around. Drop them on their heads and teach them a lesson.”
