5 Ways Dean Ambrose Can Save Monday Night Raw 

After almost 8 months of rehabilitation, Dean Ambrose finally returned to the squared circle to bring some legitimate interest to this Sunday's SummerSlam.

With WWE's flagship show being rendered absolutely senseless by the fans and critics for its predictable booking and lazy in-ring action, Ambrose's return could come as a blessing in disguise.

The former WWE Champion's return has broken the internet and has the fans buzzing about the biggest party of the summer.

His incredible transformation could coerce the management to consider him a more serious threat on Raw, and his versatility could be used to save this predictable show from drowning.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and predict the 5 ways Dean Ambrose can save Monday Night Raw.

#1 Wins the Intercontinental Championship and rejuvenates the mid-card

This could get intense

We all know how great Dean Ambrose looks with a title on his shoulder and with the Lunatic Fringe getting such a phenomenal response tonight, WWE could take full advantage of this opportunity.

The current Intercontinental Championship feud between Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler is becoming stale, with the Architect being held hostage by the Scottish Psychopath, Drew McIntyre.

Weekly attacks and same in-ring narrative has made this story even more predictable. However, Dean's return could be a welcoming sign to the mid-card division on Monday Night Raw.

Considering the fact that his stock has already risen so high, the company could push him to grab the gold sooner rather than later.

Bringing in Ambrose as the Intercontinental Champion could certainly rejuvenate the mid-card division, and will also help him in making the next giant step towards his career.

#2 Decimates Seth Rollins and turns heel

The Lunatic Fringe needs to embrace the dark side

There's no denying that Ambrose's return to the company would be acknowledged by legions of WWE supporters who have watched the business since its inception.

However, if the Grand Slam Champion's mannerisms are anything to take into account, then he stands out as an ideal candidate to become the biggest heel in the WWE.

Monday Night Raw genuinely lacks credible bad guys and with Lesnar going back into his hibernation zone after SummerSlam, Vince McMahon needs a bad guy to bring some legitimate attention to the product.

Enter the Lunatic Fringe. While imploding the Shield turned Seth Rollins into a sell-out, Dean Ambrose can take a different route and absolutely expose his versatility to the audiences.

After observing the entire look of Ambrose tonight, there's no way he would fit in as a babyface in the company. He has villain written all over his face.

Betraying the Architect at the biggest party of the summer would probably get the loudest pop of the night. The fans want to see a heel Ambrose run Monday Night Raw and the former WWE Champion could finally embrace the dark side, this Sunday.

#3 Burning down the Tag-Team Division with the Architect

Will we see this happen again?

Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose share an amazing chemistry within the squared circle and their partnership would seem more deadly and engaging after the latter's return.

Both the performers can take full advantage of the opportunity presented before them and revive an entire division with their exceptional presence.

The tag-team division on Monday Night Raw is beyond saving at the moment, with the B-Team diminishing the credibility of the gold.

With Revival destined to catch them off guard this Sunday, it would be an ideal opportunity for these two to divert their attention to the tag-team Championships.

The Revival Vs. Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose seems like money to me and inserting more popular factions like the Authors of Pain or the returning American Alpha could definitely save the show.

#4 Becomes the next Paul Heyman Guy

Paul Heyman deserves to have a legitimate client

Brock Lesnar's fractured relationship with Paul Heyman ended up being nothing but a disappointing swerve. Roman Reigns is being pushed to the moon and this might not sit well with the Brooklyn crowd this Sunday.

Considering the fact that the Beast Incarnate will head to the UFC after SummerSlam regardless of the result, Paul Heyman could be looking for some alterations in his role on Raw.

Bringing in another client could definitely elevate more viewership and bring more engaging content to the fans on a weekly basis.

Aligning with Dean Ambrose could be a blessing in disguise for Paul Heyman and considering that WWE wants SummerSlam to end on a high, this could lighten up the entire Brooklyn.

Taking out Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar would bring more edge and layers to the Lunatic Fringe's versatile character and make him a more serious threat on WWE's flagship show.

#5 Forming a deadly alliance of his own with the Authors of Pain

Shield 2.0?

With all the hype that was surrounding the Authors of Pain, the dominating faction is so directionless at the moment that it would be very difficult to bring them back to relevance.

However, the Lunatic Fringe's heel turn could bring more engaging content and the management can book him like a serious threat with some strong booking.

Dean Ambrose could form a deadly alliance of his own and rule Monday Night Raw. Joining hands with the Authors of Pain would bring some legitimate attention to the product and also assist the former NXT Tag-Team Champions to revive themselves.

While the Shield might never be replaced, but with all the faction members working as babyfaces' at the moment, the Lunatic Fringe could bring a more violent and disturbing Shield of his own with the Authors of Pain.
