5 thought-provoking ways Wrestlemania 34 can conclude 

#3 Ambrose makes his emphatic return and destroys Reigns

Seth Rollins was the strategist, Roman Reigns the silent powerhouse and Dean Ambrose the crazed wildcard.

When WWE had created the blueprint for The Shield they had decided to put three young superstars with distinct personalities in one group and when “the hounds of justice” started making an explosive impact on the roster, wrestling aficionados got to understand their diverse characters better. As Seth Rollins was the strategist, Roman Reigns was the silent powerhouse and Dean Ambrose was the crazed wildcard. Therefore, when The Shield’s initial partnership had run its course the company could now develop these three young superstars into future World Champions.

To the creative’s credit they had done just that as Rollins fitted perfectly into the Authority’s posse, Reigns had ascended to the main event scene but the unhinged nature of Ambrose had been lightly touched on but never fully explored, and for almost two years, “the lunatic fringe” was not awarded the same main event spotlight, World Championship opportunities and overall protection from WWE’s writing team. Therefore, as Ambrose had famously said he had to “crawl through a mile of crap” from the bottom of the card to the main event scene, and when he finally achieved the glory he had worked tirelessly for, WWE handled his WWE Title reigns in such a poor manner it obviously fell flat.

Although Ambrose enjoyed a main event tenure on the newly revamped Smackdown Live for many months, his supposed ‘lunatic’ persona had become stale and uninteresting, that is why his move to Raw post Wrestlemania 33 was going to be the resurgence of the “lunatic fringe”. As the prospect of a reunification with his Shield brethren was exciting enough to make Ambrose relevant once again and thus he was set to enjoy a successful re-run with “the hounds of justice”. However, an injury had struck the group and Ambrose is now reportedly out of action long enough to miss Wrestlemania 34. However, WWE has a long history of exaggerating superstar’s comeback dates to maximise the full impact of that superstar’s explosive return, Ambrose could indeed make his empathic return before Wrestlemania 34 to ignite a programme just in time for the show.

While most predict that a Wrestlemania programme between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose would be the ideal and narratively correct route to take following “the lunatic fringes” return, there is a much better use of the former WWE Champion come Wrestlemania 34. WWE need three things to ensure a successful conclusion to Wrestlemania 34, the first being a classic wrestling match, secondly, a moment that caps of the night in huge way, and finally a cliff-hanger that makes the next episode of Raw must-see TV, and there is no bigger cliffhanger than Ambrose making a thunderous return.

However, the most realistic way WWE would close off Wrestlemania 34 would be the sight Reigns holding the Universal Championship while an insane number of fireworks go off in the background. However, WWE has given the WWE Universe that ending for the last 3 years and it has become predictable, to say the least. However, a returning Ambrose laying Reigns out with thunderous dirty deeds will not only close Wrestlemania in an unpredictable way, that decision will set up an untapped rivalry for the rest of 2018. As WWE has booked Ambrose vs Rollins and Reigns vs Rollins in lengthy feuds before, but a rivalry between an unhinged heel Ambrose and Reigns is an intriguing feud WWE has under their belt.
