Early life
Jonathan David Good[1][6] was born on December 7, 1985[2][3] in Cincinnati, Ohio.[1] Much of his wrestling persona is based on his own real-life upbringing in Cincinnati's East End, where he spent much of his childhood in public housing.[5] His father, who worked in Indianapolis 70 miles away, was largely absent in Good's life[7] and Good has gone on to say that his biggest accomplishment since joining WWE was being able to buy a house for his mother away from the rough neighborhoods in Cincinnati.[7] An avid wrestling fan who idolized Bret Hart as a child, Good used wrestling as an escape from his rough upbringing by immersing himself in wrestling videotapes and reading stories about wrestling's earlier days.[5][8] A year after beginning to train as a wrestler, he dropped out of high school,[8] which he later compared to Peter Gibbons from the movie Office Space coming to work and "checking out".[7]
Professional wrestling career
Heartland Wrestling Association (2004–2010)
Good began working for Les Thatcher at the Heartland Wrestling Association (HWA) as a teenager by selling popcorn and setting up the ring before beginning to train at the age of 18 (Thatcher refused to train Good until he was 18 years old) as a professional wrestler under Thatcher and Cody Hawk.[5][8] Using the ring name Jon Moxley, he made his debut in June 2004. Less than a year into his career, Moxley teamed up with Jimmy Turner as Necessary Roughness and on May 11, 2005 they defeated the team of Extreme Desire (Mike Desire and Tack) to win the HWA Tag Team Championship.[5] After Ala Hussein and Quinten Lee, who made up the team Foreign Intelligence, defeated Necessary Roughness for the HWA Tag Team Championship, Moxley started teaming with Ric Byrne in a team known as Heartland Foundation. They defeated Foreign Intelligence for the title on August 19, but were stripped of the championship for unknown reasons the same day.

World Wrestling Entertainment/WWE

Despite more tension, The Shield reconciled in March[88][89] and began a feud with Kane, turning them into fan favorite characters[90][91] and resulting in The Shield defeating Kane and The New Age Outlaws at WrestleMania XXX on April 6.[92] The Shield next turned on Triple H,[93] who reformed Evolution with Batista and Randy Orton to take on The Shield.[94] On April 28, Ambrose surpassed Montel Vontavious Porter as the longest reigning United States Champion under the WWE banner.[95] On the May 2 episode of SmackDown, Ambrose retained the title in a fatal four-way match against Alberto Del Rio, Curtis Axel and Ryback.[96] As part of their feud with Evolution, The Shield won a six-man tag team match at Extreme Rules on May 4.[97] The following night on Raw, Triple H forced Ambrose to defend the championship in a 20-man battle royal with Rollins and Reigns not part of the match, which saw Ambrose surviving until the final two, but ultimately losing to Sheamus, thus ending Ambrose's record title reign at 351 days.[98][99] After Ambrose failed to regain the championship in a singles match on SmackDown against Sheamus, The Shield once again defeated Evolution at Payback on June 1, prompting Triple H to initiate "Plan B".[100] This involved Rollins turning on Ambrose and Reigns, subsequently aligning himself with Triple H.[101]
Feud with Seth Rollins (2014–2015)
Ambrose promptly began feuding with Rollins, which included Rollins costing Ambrose a spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank on June 29 and the duo attacking each other.[102] During this period, Ambrose and Reigns quietly separated as a team, with Ambrose debuting new ring attire and new entrance music.[103] After being added to the Money in the Bank ladder match at Rollins' request (as he threatened to hijack the match somehow if he was not), Ambrose lost the match when Kane attacked him and helped Rollins win.[104] Ambrose was scheduled to face Rollins at Battleground on July 20, but he was ejected from the arena by Triple H for fighting with Rollins backstage and Rollins subsequently announced that he had won their match by forfeit, prompting Ambrose to return to the arena and attack Rollins.[105] Ambrose and Rollins eventually wrestled at SummerSlam on August 17 in a lumberjack match, which Ambrose lost with assistance from Kane.[106] Ambrose attacked Rollins again the following night on Raw, causing them to face off in a Falls Count Anywhere match which Rollins won by knockout when Ambrose was attacked by Kane and subsequently had his head driven through a pile of cinderblocks by Rollins.[107] Ambrose was stretchered out of the arena and the storyline was put to place to explain Ambrose's absence from television while filming Lockdown.[108] Ambrose returned at Night of Champions on September 21 by attacking Rollins.[109] Following weeks of Ambrose attacking Rollins, the duo faced off in a Hell in a Cell match at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event on October 26. where Ambrose lost when the returning Bray Wyatt interfered and attacked Ambrose.[110]

WWE World Champion (2015–2016)
"Crowd was more into Ambrose than (Roman) Reigns... Why does Ambrose continue to do more jobs when he's the most over babyface they have?".
Wrestling Observer writer Jeff Hamlin in November 2015[130]

After losing the Fastlane match when pinned by Reigns,[151] Ambrose was attacked by Lesnar upon arriving at the arena.[152] This set up a confrontation on Raw, where Ambrose would return driving an ambulance only to be attacked again and then Ambrose challenged Lesnar to a No Holds Barred street fight match at WrestleMania 32, which Paul Heyman accepted on Lesnar's behalf.[153] On the February 29 episode of Raw, Ambrose interrupted Triple H by issuing a challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship[154] at Roadblock.[155] During the main event on March 12, Ambrose executed a Dirty Deeds and pinned Triple H for a three count, but as Ambrose's foot was under the rope it was void and Ambrose later lost the match.[156] Ambrose then continued his feud with Lesnar cutting promos on him, continuously challenging him, resulting in hardcore legend Mick Foley giving Ambrose his signature barbed wire baseball bat on the March 14 episode of Raw.[157] The following week on Raw, another hardcore legend, Terry Funk, gave Ambrose a chainsaw.[158] Ambrose ended up losing the match between the two of them at WrestleMania 32 on April 3.[159][160]

"To this point, Ambrose had lost almost every big match he has been in with Rollins, Wyatt, Reigns, Triple H and Lesnar all getting their hands raised at the end [...] We already knew that Dean Ambrose had the ability to be a biggest star of The Shield. Maybe now, especially in light of recent news, he will be".
Wrestling Observer writer Steve Khan on Ambrose's WWE World Heavyweight title cash-in at Money in the Bank[168]
On the May 23 episode of Raw, Ambrose defeated Dolph Ziggler to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match on June 19,[169] which he won.[170] Later that same night, he would cash-in his briefcase and quickly defeated Rollins (who had in turn just defeated Reigns for the world title) to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the first time.[171] After the number one contender's match between Rollins and Reigns ended in a double countout the next night on Raw,[172] on Ambrose's request Shane McMahon announced a triple threat match for the title, now reverted to being called the WWE Championship, between Ambrose, Reigns and Rollins at Battleground.[173] In July, Ambrose successfully defended the title in two singles match against Rollins on both Raw and SmackDown before Battleground.[174][175][176] On July 19 at the 2016 WWE draft, Ambrose was drafted to SmackDown, being the brand's first draft pick and bringing the WWE Championship with him.[177] At Battleground on July 24, Ambrose successfully retained his title against Rollins and Reigns by pinning the latter.[178][179] Ambrose then successfully defended the renamed WWE World Championship, which was now exclusive to SmackDown, against Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam on August 21.[180][181] His next title defense was at Backlash on September 11, where he lost the title to AJ Styles after Styles hit Ambrose with a low blow while the referee was down before executing a Styles Clash.[182]
On the September 20 episode of SmackDown Live, Ambrose gave Cena his first clean loss in nearly seven years on television shows,[183] but was unsuccessful in regaining the championship at No Mercy on October 9 in a triple threat match also involving Cena, who was pinned by Styles.[184] On the November 1 episode of SmackDown Live, after defeating Styles in a non-title bout he became the number one contender for the WWE World Championship[185] and would face Styles in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs on December 4.[186] On November 20, Ambrose teamed with Styles as part of Team SmackDown at Survivor Series alongside Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton and Shane McMahon in a winning effort.[187] During this time, Ambrose became working along with James Ellsworth, helping Ellsworth to secure two singles victories over Styles[188][189] before defeating Styles once more on the November 22 episode of SmackDown in a ladder match with a SmackDown contract for Ellsworth on the line.[190] However, Ambrose failed to defeat Styles after Ellsworth initially appeared to help him, only to push him off a ladder into multiple tables and allowing Styles to retain the title.[191] This prompted Ambrose to hit Ellsworth with the Dirty Deeds on the December 6 episode of SmackDown Live, but nonethless later that night Ellsworth would try to make peace with Ambrose during his Intercontinental Championship match, which backfired as Ambrose eventually lost the match.[192]
Intercontinental Champion (2016–2017)

Ambrose would then fail to become once again the number one contender for the reverted WWE Championship[193] in a fatal four-way elimination match involving Dolph Ziggler, Luke Harper and The Miz, who would later interfere to cost him the match.[194] Ambrose's feud with Intercontinental Champion The Miz got heated on the December 20 episode of SmackDown Live, when Renee Young interviewed The Miz following his successful title defense against Apollo Crews and asked Miz about his "obsession" with Ambrose, at which Miz sarcastically responded by revealing Ambrose and Young's real life relationship, prompting her to slap Miz.[195] After Ambrose attacked The Miz during his interview with Young with his intention of challenging Miz for the Intercontinental Championship,[196] he won the title for a second time on the January 3, 2017 episode of SmackDown Live after the referee ejected Maryse (The Miz's real life wife) from the ringside due to an interference.[197] On the January 10 episode of SmackDown Live, Ambrose announced his participation in the Royal Rumble match set on January 29,[198] but would be eliminated by Brock Lesnar after lasting almost 27 minutes.[199][200] Ambrose then took part of the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match at the event of the same name on February 12, where he eliminated Baron Corbin with a roll-up pin only for Corbin to attack him afterwards, allowing Miz to eliminate Ambrose.[201] Ambrose called out Corbin over the next couple of weeks while Corbin attacked him backstage and indicated his desire to take the Intercontinental Championship from Ambrose.[202][203] This would set up a match between the two on the WrestleMania 33 kickoff show on April 2, where Ambrose successfully retained the title.[204] On the April 4 episode of SmackDown Live, Corbin defeated Ambrose in a non-title street fight rematch,[205] which would be Ambrose last match for the brand as he moved to the Raw brand as a result of the Superstar Shake-up.[206]
In May, Ambrose resumed his rivalry with The Miz, who was also drafted on the Raw brand along with Maryse as part of the Superstar Shake-Up,[206] after Miz defeated Finn Bálor and Seth Rollins in a triple threat match on the May 1 episode of Raw to become the number one contender for Ambrose's title.[207] After Ambrose lost a title match by disqualification after he performed a low blow on The Miz,[208] he was then slated to defend the title in a rematch against Miz at Extreme Rules on June 4 in which Ambrose could lose the title if he were to be disqualified.[209] Ambrose would eventually lose the title match by pinfall, thus ending his reign at 152 days.[210]
Reunion with Seth Rollins (2017–present)
Ambrose continued to feud with Miz, leading up to a rematch for the Intercontinental Championship at Great Balls of Fire on July 9, where he lost after an interference by the Miztourage (Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas).[211] The next night on Raw, Ambrose attacked Miz and the Miztourage, but due to being outnumbered former stablemate and long-time rival Seth Rollins saved Ambrose, who later that night revealed his untrustworthiness towards Rollins only to save him after an attack by The Miz and the Miztourage due his rivarlry with Miz.[212] After failing to gain Ambrose's trust, Rollins offered Ambrose to attack him with a steel chair as retribution for Rollins' betrayal, but Ambrose refused and the two were then ambushed by Miz and the Miztourage, which resulted in Raw General Manager Kurt Angle scheduling a handicap match for the following week on Raw,[213] in which Ambrose pinned Miz to end their prolonged feud while refusing to fist bump Rollins after the match.[214] In the following weeks, Ambrose and Rollins started a feud with Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro and Sheamus[215] and eventually getting a title match at SummerSlam,[216] but the two kept distrusting each other.[217] This led the two to argue in the ring on the August 14 episode of Raw, which culminated in Ambrose and Rollins brawling with each other only to fight off Cesaro and Sheamus and performing a fist bump to a loud ovation.[218] At SummerSlam, Ambrose and Rollins defeated Cesaro and Sheamus to capture the Raw Tag Team Championships, making Ambrose both a Triple Crown and Grand Slam champion in the process.
Wrestling persona
Ambrose's WWE career has seen him characterized as unstable and unpredictable. Referred to as "The Lunatic Fringe" since his time in The Shield (taking the nickname from Cincinnati radio station WEBN, which itself got the nickname from the 1981 song), his gimmick is portrayed as a wildcard. Ambrose's gimmick has been compared to that of WWE Hall of Famers Roddy Piper and Stone Cold Steve Austin, drawing comparison to Brian Pillman and Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker.[219][220][221] Despite expectations that Ambrose would become one of WWE's next top villains even after The Shield turned into fan favorites,[222] Ambrose's post-Shield run as a heroic character gained popularity, with him being cheered over fellow babyface (heroic character) Roman Reigns when they faced off in three world title matches (Payback and Survivor Series in 2015 and Fastlane in 2016).[223][224][225] Ambrose's popularity over Reigns has been especially reflective on the live event circuit, where Ambrose was drawing better on WWE's "B" circuit (usually in smaller markets) than Reigns as champion on the "A" circuit.[226] Ambrose was voted as the "Most Popular Wrestler of the Year" by Pro Wrestling Illustrated in 2014 and 2015.[227]

Personal life
Good resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.[1] He is an avid fan of his hometown Cincinnati Bengals and the Philadelphia Flyers.[231] He is known as an intensely private person and does not use social media, stating in 2014, "I don't feel the need to open myself up to the opinion of everybody in the world with a phone or computer. I just don't get that; being connected to everybody on such a superficial level like that. It's not really for me."[232] In 2015, he said, "I try to keep myself pretty closed off from the world because there's some weird stuff out there."[233]
Since 2013, Good has been in a relationship with WWE announcer Renee Paquette, better known as Renee Young.[234][235] On April 12, 2017, Paquette announced on Twitter that she and Good were now married.[236] Official marriage records showed they got married on April 9, 2017.[6][237][238]

Notes
1 ^ When Ambrose won the title, it was known as the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. It was then shortened to WWE Championship in the lead up to the 2016 WWE draft, where he was drafted to SmackDown with the championship. After the Raw brand created the WWE Universal Championship, the WWE Championship was again renamed to WWE World Championship.
