Dean Ambrose Was Supposed To Turn Heel Post-WrestleMania 34
Ambrose's injury prevented a feud with Roman Reigns...
It has already been reported that Seth Rollins is likely to be the first challenger for soon-to-be-crowned Universal Champ Roman Reigns post-WrestleMania 34.
Now, the Wrestling Observer are claiming that Rollins will take a spot originally intended for Dean Ambrose. Before Ambrose went down with a serious triceps injury in December 2017, he was supposed to be the Shield member who ruined a happy reunion to gun for the title.
As Dean will be benched until the late-Summer, it's Seth who looks set to turn heel once again and go after Reigns. This doesn't make much sense when considering the heroic response Rollins received for his efforts in the recent Gauntlet match on Raw, or the fact fans refuse to accept Reigns as a babyface.
Are WWE totally blind to Roman's failure as a top face? It appears so, and it feels like a mistake to trade Seth's popularity for another crack at forcing Reigns on an apathetic crowd.
Ambrose, complete with his "Lunatic Fringe" character, might have worked better at drawing heat, but it's hard to see Seth successfully creating sympathy for Roman regardless of how hard WWE try.
