Ever since CM Punk took his ball and went home, the WWE Universe has been left without a must-see babyface to cheer. Yes, superstars the likes of John Cena and Roman Reigns do fill a certain void, but the undeniable charisma that Punk always managed to exude is sorely lacking in both of those men.

And while Rollins currently holds the Money in the Bank briefcase, and is in the best possible position that a superstar can possibly be in with regards to the world title picture, he has fallen short of singles gold glory thus far.

And in the same vein as Punk, the Lunatic Fringe has a number of intangibles that few possess and even fewer are able to successfully implement. Here we look at 5 reasons why Ambrose is the new Punk.
