3 reasons why Dean Ambrose didn't turn heel on Monday Night Raw (24 September 2018)

Every week on Monday Night Raw, WWE tries to entertain the fans by doing the unexpected. This week as well, WWE applied the same formula, and it seems like the formula is yielding results, as quite a lot of rumors have been buzzing that the heel turn of Ambrose is imminent.

Ambrose was injured this past year and was out of action for almost 9 months, and when he returned before SummerSlam, everyone thought that he would turn against Rollins who was also responsible for his injury.

On this week's Raw, WWE teased his heel turn in a segment where Dolph Ziggler was trying to exasperate Ambrose through his words. For a moment, it seemed like The Lunatic Fringe was finally going to turn against his Shield brothers, but that wasn't the case exactly.

So now the question is - why did Ambrose not turn heel? Here are the three possible reasons.

#3 He needs more time to think

Think Dean Think

The rumors about Ambrose turning heel have been rife in the past few months, and many fans now believe that it is the right time for Ambrose to turn heel. This week Strowman, McIntyre, and Ziggler tried to convince Ambrose to join their alliance, but at last Ambrose rejected the offer.

The rumors about his heel turn have been around for a long time, but this has been the only segment where the WWE has teased Ambrose's heel turn. Maybe he needs some time to think about the unexpected offer given to him, and still there are chances that Ambrose could turn against his Shield brothers.

At this time he is one of the most underrated babyfaces on the roster, and to give him the exposure he deserves, WWE needs to turn things upside down. A heel turn seems perfect at this moment, because it is something we haven't seen in a very long time.

#2 Ambrose's heel turn isn't on the WWE radar

It happened just to hype the show?

In the past, many heel turns have happened in the company, and some of them were shocking. However, we can't forget that the WWE always finds a way to do the unexpected.

Over the years, there were many rumors about heel turns of superstars like John Cena, Roman Reigns, etc, but these character changes haven't happened in the company.

In the past the WWE has teased about a superstar's heel turn, but in the end, either the idea was nixed or they never actually had any plans for that character change. Maybe the company is doing the same with Ambrose. WWE could use this trick to hype things on Monday Night Raw.

#1 A big heel turn should happen at the right time

CURBSTOMP!

As we previously said, in the past many shocking heel turns have happened in the company, but one thing to note is the fact that most of them happened either on a pay-per-view, or after a pay-per-view.

At WWE Payback 2014, The Shield (Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns) defeated The Evolution (Randy Orton, Batista, and Triple H) in a six-man tag team match.

The next night on Raw, Batista quit the WWE, and then Triple H came up with his "Plan B". His idea became one of the most shocking decisions ever, as Rollins turned on his Shield brothers by attacking them with a steel chair.

Same could happen with Ambrose as well, because currently there is a match set for the upcoming WWE Super Show-Down where The Shield will face Strowman, Ziggler, and McIntyre. Ambrose could turn heel during or after this match.
