10 Biggest Beneficaries Of WWE Talking Smack

5. Dean Ambrose

Due to a lack of character development, Dean Ambrose has been stale for the better part of two years now, though he remains over with the audience because of how big of a fan favorite he is. What is especially irksome is that we all know how good of a talker he can be; he just needs to be motivated and given something meaningful to work with.

That was never more evident than it was on Talking Smack late last year. Ambrose was embroiled in a three-way feud with John Cena and AJ Styles over the WWE Championship, and not wanting to be overshadowed by the other two, Ambrose targeted Cena on on the 20 September edition of Talking Smack.

Ambrose wasn't shy in calling Cena a part-timer and even going so far as to say he was a harder worker than him in being on the road more. It genuinely seemed like that was how Ambrose felt, and whether there was legitimate heat there or not, it didn't matter because he came across like a star in that moment.

He continued to cut scathing promos on Talking Smack before moving to Raw in the Superstar Shake-up earlier this year.
