10 Best Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (November 2018)

7. Dean Ambrose's 'Chronicle'

You'll note we haven't said Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins here, because despite how amazing and highly anticipated that feud could have been, WWE have found a way to dampen it.

Ambrose's heel turn the same night as the tragic announcement that Roman Reigns' leukaemia had returned was executed perfectly, but since then it's all gone wrong.

You'll now find Ambrose talking about how the city RAW is in smells or getting arse inoculations rather than adding fire to what should be a white-hot feud between former brothers.

Nevertheless, watch Dean's episode of 'Chronicle' on the WWE Network and you'll be as giddy with excitement about his upcoming match with Rollins as you should have been.

The hour-long special paints an intriguing picture of the Lunatic Fringe returning to WWE after an eight-month layoff with injury. Showcasing his fears, foibles, and frustration, it follows him through his impactful return to aide Rollins, through the devastating news of Roman's illness, and concludes with his shocking turn on one of his Shield brethren.

The five minutes after he turns heel, where he attempts to justify his actions, do more to develop this character (and make you love and loathe him in equal measure) than all the time he's been given on RAW in recent weeks with those awful promos.

'Chronicle' is a series that needs to be given far more exposure, because it's the only thing able to salvage this disappointing feud.
