How WWE Should Book: The Return Of Dean Ambrose
So recently, I've been doing championship bookings for next years Wrestlemania. I figured lets do something different today. We all have our favorite members of The Shield, and as much as I want it to be Dean Ambrose, it will be Seth Rollins because I've followed him since his Ring of Honor days. I do think most of the friends that I discuss WWE with would agree that Dean is there second favorite Shield member as well. With both Seth and Roman being healthy right now, let’s discuss Dean’s injury and where he will go after his return.
Dean Ambrose has been out since December with a torn Tricep. The time for a return is 9 months, so if he isn't cleared early, then we are looking at a July return at the earliest. So what are our options as for his return? Well the safe route would be him aiding Seth after he was attacked by a reunited American Alpha once Jason Jordan returns. Yes this means that both Chad Gable and Jason Jordan turn heel, but this would be a good thing.
As a heel tag team with Shelton Benjamin, Gable thrived as a heel. While he was a very in ring focused wrestler, while with Shelton, we got to see some great character work from Gable. With Jordan, who fans hated before he got hurt, that would be phenomenal heat. That would make the perfect return situation for Ambrose. Rollins is getting beat down by American Alpha, and then Ambrose music hits and he gets a thunderous pop. This would set up a tag team match which Rollins and Ambrose would win, since it would be the first match for Ambrose since his return, but after the match Ambrose turns on Rollins.

The reason for this is because of Ambrose's character. The 'Lunatic Fringe' (I hate that name) sounds like a nickname for a heel wrestler, not a face wrestler like Ambrose is now. What I want to see is Ambrose become unhinged and insane. Have him be escorted to the ring and be in a straight jacket. He should be the one that causes Seth to lose the Intercontinental Championship, not the one to beat him for it per say, and just torment Seth every chance he gets. This all leads to an extreme rules match at Wrestlemania between the two
and the WWE should let them steal the show, which both men are very capable of doing.
