LAST WEEK ON SMACKDOWN LIVE: John Cena once again mocked Dean Ambrose's spirited speech about how every time he falls down he gets back up, as well as how Ambrose compares himself to a rabid dog that keeps getting back up to make Cena's life hell as long as he's the WWE Champion.

John Cena invites Ambrose to keep chomping after him because he is only digging his grave deeper. John wants to face Ambrose every week until WrestleMania because he wants to make sure that “The Lunatic Fringe” knows that he just doesn't measure up.
