5 possible opponents for Dean Ambrose when he returns

Monday nights don't quite seem the same without 'The Lunatic Fringe', Dean Ambrose. He is one Superstar that the WWE has always been banking on when it comes to television time. His in-ring presence and promos are so gripping that the WWE Universe gets behind him as soon as they hear his entrance theme play.

He is arguably one of the best entertainers in the business and every episode that goes by without him leaves the fans with a sense that something is definitely missing in the product.

Dean Ambrose suffered a tricep injury in December on an episode of Raw and is said to return only after nine months. This seems to be too long a period for someone of his caliber to be kept on the sidelines.

In this day and age where a wrestler may well be forgotten if he doesn't show up on two successive episodes, Ambrose has given the WWE Universe a lot of memories to keep him in their minds. Whenever it is that he may be set to return, expect nothing less than the crowd to go berserk when they hear that motor running in his entrance.

Here are 5 possible wrestlers Ambrose could feud with when he returns.

#5 Finn Balor

The crowd would lose their minds if this match is to be set up. Both Superstars are agile and have an immense number of moves in their arsenal. Imagine Balor cutting a promo about why he should be Intercontinental Champion (a title which should probably be held by Seth Rollins at that time) and being interrupted by a returning Dean Ambrose to the biggest pop of the year.

This match could be used to test Ambrose and for him to prove to the WWE Universe that he hasn't missed a step since his injury. If the WWE books this feud right, there's no reason why the fans won't be invested in it. With Dean picking up the win after a hard fought battle, Balor could summon the "Demon" in him and with the help of his Balor Club brothers make life tough for Dean Ambrose by turning heel and stopping at nothing till he gets his hands on the gold.
