8. Dean Ambrose

As part of the 2017 reincarnation of The Shield, Dean Ambrose has to share the promo time with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, who is now undoubtedly the group’s figurehead.

However, it was Ambrose who was the main spokesman and therefore the de-facto leader of ‘The Hounds of Justice’ when they burst onto the scene in late 2012, because he is the most skilled and entertaining talker of the three. Although, not nearly as good as he should be.

The occasionally brilliant microphone work of his intense character is compromised by the childish and cheap humour that ‘The Lunatic Fringe’ has been saddled with as a babyface.

In his current persona, Ambrose scrapes into the top 10, but the the former WWE and Intercontinental champion has the potential to be much higher on this list as a heel.

Only when he turns - possibly on Rollins in the lead up to WrestleMania - will we see how well Ambrose can use the microphone to push the darker, unhinged parts of his character.
