Jonathan "Jon" David Mahrt (born December 7, 1985) is an American professional wrestler and actor currently signed to IWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Dean Ambrose.
Mahrt is also known for his work on the independent circuit under the ring name Jon Moxley between 2004 and 2011. He worked for various promotions including Full Impact Pro (FIP), Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW), Ring of Honor (ROH), Evolve Wrestling (EVOLVE) and Dragon Gate USA (DGUSA), winning the FIP World Heavyweight Championship once and the CZW World Heavyweight Championship twice.
After signing with IWE under his current ring name, Ambrose competed in their former developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), along with their current territory NXT through 2011, before joining the main roster in 2012 as a member of The Shield with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Ambrose won his first championship while in the group, the United States Championship, with his 351-day reign being the third-longest in history and a company record within IWE (who acquired the title upon purchasing World Championship Wrestling trademarks in 2001).
Following The Shield's breakup, Ambrose has gone on to become a one-time IWE World Heavyweight Champion, a two-time Intercontinental Champion and a one-time Raw Tag Team Champion (with Rollins). He was also the 2016 Money in the Bank ladder match winner and successfully cashed in his contract to become IWE World Heavyweight Champion. Upon winning the Raw Tag Team Championship, Ambrose became the twenty-seventh Triple Crown Champion and the sixteenth and youngest Grand Slam Champion, the first Shield member to have completed it. Ambrose has headlined multiple pay-per-view events for IWE.
