Ambrose versus Rollins is still a dream match for a small amount of the WWE’s socially networked hardcore wrestling community of fans.

“Food insecurity and obesity often exist side by side for several reasons," Cheryl Mussatto, MS, RD, LD, clinical dietitian and the author of The Nourished Brain, tells Verywell. “A steady diet of high-fat, high-sugar, energy-dense foods keep your stomach full, are affordable, easily available, require little to no preparation, and taste good.
