Ambrose, who is an ex-WWE World Champion exclusively told The Sun: “I'll fight anyone for enough money.

“Give me half-a-million dollars. Put them in the ring, I'll do it right now, I'll do it tonight.”

Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and much-loved star CM Punk are just some of the wrestlers who have fought in the UK.

Ambrose revealed to The Sun he almost died a week before WrestleMania 33 in a horror mountain bike crash.

He flipped 8ft into the air after the smash, narrowly avoiding serious injury in the build-up to the Showcase of the Immortals.

He added: “I’m big into mounting biking. I actually crashed my mountain bike about a week ago very badly.

“I thought I was going to die. I fell over the handlebars, full on ninja roll, I flew like 8ft into the air.

“I thought I probably shouldn’t be doing this a week before WrestleMania. You have to immediately get back on.

“I crashed on a downhill, you have to just continue. If you stop and think about it too long you’ll psych yourself out.”
