The Good - Will He Or Won't He?
Dean Ambrose is a loose cannon and not the market tested corporate designed variety either. At least not anymore. He's Brian Pillman and Roddy Piper rolled up into Lethal Weapon's Martin Riggs, the crazy Mel Gibson version.
Ambrose is truly certifiable and that's what makes him so compelling. No one knows what he will do next and everyone underestimates what he's actually capable of doing. He's an artist gone mad. RAW is his canvas and we are all trying to figure out just what this wrestling Van Gogh is painting.
As he opened RAW with an in-ring Charley Caruso interview, Ambrose teased that he just might turn on his SHIELD brethren. When asked if he thought about leaving The SHIELD, the Lunatic Fringe replied,
"Sure, I think about a lot of things. Maybe I already did. Maybe I already gave my notice. Maybe I turned in my black uniform.....maybe on the way here I ran Roman's car off the road and he's not going to be here tonight."
Of course, the Seattle crowd cheered and not just about the chance to miss out on Roman Reigns either. They could see that Ambrose is breaking out of his shell and becoming a certifiable force outside of The SHIELD. He's waking from his corporate induced coma and evolving into something else. What that "something else" actually remains to be seen because if Ambrose does anything well, it's to keep us guessing.
In the very same interview, the increasingly volatile Ambrose waxed nostalgic about The SHIELD and said that the trio wasn't a business or a brand; but, a brotherhood that would always ride into battle together. With a touch of Cybil, he also hinted that he just might wait for the perfect time when,
"Nobody is looking, nobody is watching, the perfect time to slip the knife right in their backs."
Fans thought that time may come when Baron Corbin offered Ambrose a choice of three matches; 1. An Intercontinental Championship bout against Seth Rollins, 2. A Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns, or 3. A match against Braun Strowman. When Ambrose expressed interest in fighting Corbin instead, the RAW GM chose for him. The lunatic would tangle with the monster, Braun Strowman.
Later in the evening, as Ambrose iced his wounds from his loss to Strowman, he hinted to Seth Rollins that he could be Intercontinental Champion. Later he told Roman Reigns that if he wasn't such a nice guy, he could be Universal Champion. Everyone is dumbfounded. No one knows what comes next or when.
Will Dean Ambrose turn on his SHIELD brothers? Yes! Maybe...Not a chance? Who knows? One thing is certain, Ambrose will keep things interesting, keep us guessing, and keep us tuning in.
