WWE TLC 2018: 5 Potential finishes for Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose 

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have been through a whirlwind of storylines since they debuted together on the main roster back in 2012.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

From Shield brothers to sworn enemies, to Tag Team Champions and once again at odds, it appears that life will never lack drama for Rollins and Ambrose.

Dean Ambrose chose the worst time to turn on his brother, who had only heard the news that Roman Reigns would be forced onto the sidelines to battle Leukemia a few hours earlier.

It left a sour taste in the mouth of many fans and Ambrose has since made it clear that he has also turned his back on Reigns because he is now his own man.

The two men have been attacking one another from behind for the past six weeks and finally they will be going one-on-one at one of the most extreme pay-per-views of the year, with Rolins' Intercontinental Championship on the line.

But the fact that there are so many combustible elements in this match means that there are many options when it comes to a finish.

#5 Seth Rollins retains his Championship

Will Rollins be walking out of San Jose with his IC title?

Seth Rollins has held the Intercontinental Championship ever since he defeated Dolph Ziggler back at SummerSlam to reclaim the title that he lost to Ziggler a few months prior.

Rollins has been a fighting Champion and is well aware of the threat Ambrose possesses since he has feuded with him before.

Ambrose and Rollins had one of the feuds of the year back in 2014 and Rollins is well prepared for what The Lunatic Fringe may have in store for him.

The fact that this is a straight-up one-on-one match without a gimmick favors Rollins much more than Ambrose, which means that we could see the title retained in San Jose.

Rollins' Stomp finisher can be pulled out of nowhere, so he could have luck on his side this weekend.

#4 Dean Ambrose becomes Intercontinental Champion

Will Dean Ambrose become the new Intercontinental Champion on Sunday night?

Dean Ambrose hasn't won a Championship since his return a few months ago but was on hand to help Rollins to win the title back at SummerSlam.

But he could claim that The Architect wouldn't have won the title if it wasn't for him neutralizing the threat of Drew McIntyre at ringside.

Ambrose ended his original feud with Seth Rollins when he cashed in the Money in the Bank contract and took away the WWE Championship, could the future be the same for Rollins as Ambrose once again takes away the title that he holds so dear?

Ambrose is currently seen as a favorite heading into their match this weekend and given the form he's been in since October, it's hard to argue that the WWE Universe won't be seeing a new Champion crowned at TLC.

#3 Seth Rollins retains via disqualification

Will Dean Ambrose inadvertently get himself disqualified on Sunday night?

There is always the option at a pay-per-view of this kind that Seth Rollins could retain his title via disqualification since it's a match that doesn't allow the use of weapons and Ambrose is a fan of picking up the nearest weapon and using it on his opponent.

There's also the added issue that there could be interference from the likes of Bobby Lashley or Drew McIntyre since Rollins recently made an enemy of Baron Corbin, which wasn't smart since Rollins himself doesn't have any allies on the Raw roster that he could call upon to balance the odds.

Given the history between these two stars, it's likely that this match won't be straightforward so strap in and prepare yourself for a controversial ending., especially if Heath Slater is given the job as referee.

#2 Baron Corbin restarts the match

Will Baron Corbin play a part in this match?

As already stated, it's shocking that this match isn't a no-disqualification given the fact that these two men have already brawled inside a steel cage, so it's highly likely that the disqualification factor could come into play with Ambrose using a weapon and then losing the match.

Rollins stupidly made an enemy of Baron Corbin and even though his General Manager status is on the line on Sunday night he could still come out and assert his authority by restarting the match and allowing the use of weapons.

If it's made a no-DQ match then interference will also be legal and Corbin will follow through on his threat to make life on Raw much worse for The Champion.

Corbin does have other things to focus on at TLC since Braun Strowman looks to be nearing the level he needs to defeat the former United States Champion, but he's vindictive enough to continue to cause problems for Rollins before his own match.

#1 Could Roman Reigns make an appearance?

Will Roman Reigns shock the WWE Universe?

Roman Reigns hasn't been on WWE TV for almost two months but he has still played a huge role in the feud between Rollins and Ambrose since The Lunatic Fringe has mentioned Reigns and his current health status numerous times.

It is unknown when Reigns will appear on WWE TV again and if he would want to be part of the issues that have risen between his two former friends, but at this point, he could be the only one who could reason with this version of Dean Ambrose.

It would only take a distraction to allow Rollins to pick up the win and retain his title, and it would be a good swerve since Ambrose had said some terrible things about Reigns in recent weeks and would deserve to lose a Championship match in this way.
