Dean Ambrose has been set up as WWE's most buzz-worthy star.
Dean Ambrose has been set up as WWE's most buzz-worthy star.

While Roman Reigns vacating the Universal Championship dominated wrestling news coming out of Raw, the second biggest story was Dean Ambrose at last making his long rumored and teased heel turn when he nailed Seth Rollins with Dirty Deeds.

Ambrose is already a former WWE Champion, and with the buzz coming out of this turn—and of all nights, on the same one when Reigns announced he was walking away—he has all the potential in the world to emerge as WWE’s hottest act.

Add on that he’s a work horse who is capable in the ring, and finally returning to the heel role that he has arguably been best suited to all along. We could very well have a recipe for Ambrose to not only hold the title on an interim basis while WWE gets its ducks in a row, but rather for the long haul.
