What if Dean Ambrose turns heel?

#3 A kayfabe split with Renee Young

Might WWE bend reality by playing off of Ambrose's real-life marriage?

In today’s WWE, with reality television to produce and fans following the real lives of Superstars on the Internet and social media, it’s more difficult than ever to keep a wrestler’s private life completely out of the public eye. So it is that even relatively casual wrestling fans are well aware that Dean Ambrose is married to Renee Young.

Were Renee Young strictly in her pre-show panel and backstage interviewer role, it would be reasonable enough for her to exist in a separate universe from Ambrose on air. Now that she’s a fixture on the Raw commentary team, some level of interaction happens every time Ambrose is on screen.

There’s a time-honored tradition of broadcasters getting drawn into their own storylines from time to time, in part to build fans’ feeling of connection to the people calling the action. As the first female full-time commentator and a non-wrestler, Young could be an awkward fit for that kind of role.

However, as Ambrose’s wife, and a generally well-liked figure, Ambrose could draw nuclear heat with a kayfabe breakup or going so far as to actively antagonize Young. To go a step further, Ambrose could ally himself with a female wrestler to bully her, and really push the envelope.
