Dean Ambrose is arguably in a bigger match this year at WrestleMania, but theres little doubt that his solo push hasnt worked out as expected. Sure, you could say he main-evented a pay-per-view over these past 12 months, but his match with Bray Wyatt that closed out TLC was never considered the top program in the company. In The Shield, Ambrose was pretty well protected as a lunatic type character, now were constantly reminded hes the lunatic fringe which is corporate marketing at its worst. When Roman Reigns went down with injury, Ambrose was pushed into the no. 2 babyface spot, and had a mediocre go at it. Maybe managements heart wasnt in it, or perhaps Dean hasnt quite found himself yet as a character. Theres still a lot of untapped potential for him, but this upcoming Intercontinental Title car crash match is a far cry from where fans thought he'd by by now in his solo run.
