This week on RAW, we were treated to a spectacular main event. The Shield and The Dogs of War tore it up, and had an even better match than the one they had in Melbourne recently. Unfortunately, it would end with The Shield taking the pin. And Dean Ambrose did not take this loss well.
Ambrose left his brothers in the ring and walked to the back at the conclusion of the match. This ties in with the weeks of dissension between him and his Shield brothers. After all, he's the only member of the group who doesn't have a Championship right now and this fact is eating at him every day.

How will this angle play out in the weeks that follow, you rightfully ask? I don't have the answers but much like you, I can speculate in this feature.

#5 Joins the Dogs of War

On more than one occasion, Strowman and McIntyre have seemed unhappy to be partnering with Ziggler. They believe that he's the weak link in the group and that he's been responsible for them losing on more than one occasion. They've also brought up the fact that they think that Ambrose would be a good fit for their unit.
So the first possibility that I will throw up concerns Ambrose turning his back on his brothers and joining the heel stable. This could allow for a brand new member to be added to The Shield, such as Finn Balor or even Kassius Ohno. After all, Ohno was supposed to be one of the original Shield members.
It would significantly alter the landscape of RAW and turn all existing storylines topsy turvy. But it would give both Reigns and Rollins a high-quality opponent to work against, down the line.
#4 Returns as a solo tweener

Lest you forget, Dean Ambrose is a former WWE Champion and carried SmackDown Live on his shoulders for a large duration when he was on the brand. I can absolutely imagine him going solo and existing between heel and babyface territory. All I know for certain is that it would definitely freshen the character up. It may even let him play an actual 'lunatic'.
As a tweener, Ambrose could take the fight to the Dogs of War. But he can also battle The Shield and contest for the Universal and the Intercontinental Championships down the line. It would elevate the character because at present, he's little more than a sidekick.
Yes, The Shield is red hot right now. But this decision may yield better long term results.
#3 Returns to betray The Shield

Maybe Dean Ambrose comes back next week and says that he's got his head right again. He wants to be rejoined with the brotherhood known as The Shield, and he's sorry that he ever turned his back on them. And then, when they turn their backs, Dean Ambrose does to The Shield what Seth Rollins did to them. It would be a very interesting plot twist.
Rollins could take exception to this and challenge Ambrose to a big match. The Intercontinental Championship, that's been all but forgotten, could be revived again.
#2 Shows up on SmackDown Live

There is a very serious dearth of babyfaces in SmackDown Live right now. Dean Ambrose could fit right into the scheme of things and feud with Nakamura or Joe or even Randy Orton. There are far more heels than babyfaces right now on the blue brand.
I'll tell you why this is not outside the realm of possibility for Dean Ambrose. Survivor Series is fast approaching and we could see Ambrose lead a trio, to go up against The Shield. This would certainly make for a really big money feud.
Maybe Gallows and Anderson could be aligned with Ambrose. Maybe even Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper in a lunatic themed trio.
#1 Nothing happens

This is the most likely possibility among the scenarios that I've outlined in this article. The Shield is the face of WWE at this point in time. They're the only reason why Roman Reigns gets cheered by the WWE Universe these days. It's unlikely that the group will break up so soon.
They sell an incredible amount of merchandise. While Ambrose could sell a lot of merchandise by his lonesome, I think the trio works better as a unit. It doesn't make business sense for The Shield to split up.
So, I guess it will be back to the grind for the Hounds from next week. Or one of the other scenarios I've mentioned in this very article.
