5 WWE Superstars who will benefit from Dean Ambrose leaving WWE

When all said and done, it's going to be quite a shock when Dean Ambrose finally does depart from WWE. It's been just over six years since he joined the main roster, and his overall WWE journey from Florida Championship Wrestling has been even longer.

Throughout that time, his career was constantly associated with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. At FCW, they battled against one another, and on the main roster, they debuted by teaming up with each other, forming the greatest faction in the modern era.

Their run as a stable was always meant to be a short period of time. In fact, their first run lasted a little over one and a half years, which is shocking given the impact they created.

The intention was always for the three of them to branch out into singles stardom, and that's exactly what happened. However, despite being a former world champion and a featured top star, Ambrose decided to call it quits in WWE after WrestleMania 35.

There are a lot more negatives to him leaving, but the truth is that there will be a few stars who benefit off it. Here are the five who will.

#5 Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley had an excellent January, and that led to him capturing one of the Championships that was still missing from his trophy cabinet - the Intercontinental title.

With Ambrose gone, Bobby Lashley has an open slot to take as the top heel of Monday Night RAW. Ambrose would have been pushed regardless as a heel, and this may very well open the door for The Almighty One to enter the world title mix. We could even see him become Universal Champion later this year!

#4 Triple H

From the look of things, we may finally be getting a Triple H-Dean Ambrose feud for WrestleMania 35. For one, rumours seem to suggest that Triple H will be clear on time for the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Secondly, Batista might have a conflicting schedule with his movies, and if that's the case, there's a near zero percent chance that the insurance companies will let him wrestle. If so, it'll be over three years in the making.

In 2016, when Dean Ambrose was hotter than ever, fans wanted to see him face Triple H for the WWE title at WrestleMania 32. As we would come to learn then and the years after, Roman Reigns was always the guy WWE wanted to push.

Moreover, if Dean Ambrose is truly on his way out, it will mean that Triple H will most likely win. As odd as it is to say it, Triple H feels long overdue for a win at WrestleMania.

#3 Seth Rollins

As tragic is it is that The Shield won't be reuniting if Dean Ambrose leaves, there is a certain upside to it. Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose have long been associated with one another. Even when Ambrose did return, he aligned with Rollins and then turned on Rollins.

It's interesting because their feud was originally supposed to culminate at WrestleMania 34, presumably with Ambrose turning heel as well. However, their feud quickly went south after finding initial success.

Their match at TLC is best not spoken about. The rumours seem to have suggested that even Vince McMahon was furious with the bout. With Ambrose gone, Seth Rollins can have a 2019 completely away from The Shield and no association with them.

It might help his singles stardom even further, as he's clearly being primed to be the guy in WWE for 2019, presumably replacing Roman Reigns until he comes back.

#2 Drew McIntyre

Similar with Lashley, Ambrose leaving does open up a big spot on the roster. From the way he was pushed in 2018, it seems clear that Drew McIntyre is being slowly built and pushed for a run on the top in 2019 and going forward.

It's easy to see why. McIntyre has a great backstory and a lot more upside to him as well. The new and improved Scottish Psychopath may be getting a top heel push in 2019, and with Dean Ambrose leaving and WWE needing top heels, it's very likely that McIntyre will get pushed to the top far sooner than expected.

While we don't necessarily expect McIntyre to be Universal Champion by 2019, he could take one step closer with a mid-card title win or even a Money in the Bank win. Either way, 2019 is going to be a make or break year for McIntyre, and we believe it'll be the former.

#1 Renee Young

We know she may not count as a "superstar", but since she's an on-screen talent, we'll add her to the list as well. It's true that not being on the road with her husband will be hard for Renee Young, but there is a lot of upside to it as well.

From the beginning of her run as RAW commentator, she was put in a tricky spot. Her relationship with Dean Ambrose was already revealed on air by late 2016, so there was really no running around it.

As a result, she was constantly put on the spot during segments, asked about "Ambrose's intentions" and even got slightly involved in the feud with Seth Rollins. Also, being a commentator meant she couldn't say too much when Ambrose was on air as well.

Now, she'll have a lot more freedom, and we may finally see her grow more as a performer. It's understandably a lot of pressure, but she's capable of it.
