What happens now for Dean Ambrose?
A WrestleMania showdown on the cards?When we look back at pay-per-view events of 2016, remember how lane Fastlane was. While I was happy with the Chris Jericho-AJ Styles match, little else on Sunday night did anything to inspire me or whet my whistle as WrestleMania 32 is now officially on the horizon. While I had hoped the main event Triple Threat Match between Dean Ambrose, Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns had a few moments, nothing screamed “excellent” and left me wanting more.A LOT MORE!When there is such an anti-climactic buzz surrounding what fans already knew, it becomes hard to sell a match that for all its “meaning” was just a window dressing for Reigns to get his belt back. Lesnar was there for show and Ambrose, while wrestling in his home state, got the shaft and deserved better.Any momentum the “Lunatic Fringe” had going into the match was squashed like a German Suplex from the Beast Incarnate.We all know Reigns will face Triple H for the WWE World Title in what can only be described the weakest formality and the worst kept secret in professional wrestling history. Lesnar will more than likely face Bray Wyatt and there is now a better than even chance that Undertaker faces John Cena in a legends match.Lost in all of this is Ambrose, who now does not have a dance partner. Once again, all that momentum flushed down the toilet. What happens to Ambrose over the course of the next six weeks will be one of the more pressing questions to answer by WWE.Here are a few thoughts as to what the company will do with his character.
#1 A Heel turn
Now that he has lost twice to Reigns and has missed out on getting a shot at the WWE World Title, there is nothing left for him to do when it comes to his association with Reigns. They are good friends, but even better as enemies.
I like the idea of their friendship continuing until WrestleMania 32 and then possibly a heel turn that costs his “brother” the world title shot and sets up a rivalry after Dallas.
