10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Dec 7)

5. Dean Ambrose Warns Reigns That They Need Help

There's a sense that WWE feel the need to book a top babyface who attempts to overcome the odds all on his own. John Cena previously filled this role, but the position is now occupied by Roman Reigns. There's no doubt about it, the company are trying to stack the odds against Reigns, hoping fans will in turn get behind his quest to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion. In the modern era, that's a tough sell, but it's reportedly the way Vince McMahon wants to play things. Therefore, it looks like Roman may continue to try and take on all comers this Monday on Raw. As his friend, Dean Ambrose should approach Reigns and warn him against that strategy. Last week, the numbers advantage for the League Of Nations proved too great. By explaining this to a defiant Roman Reigns, Ambrose could say that they need to enlist more help. Otherwise, they stand no chance of fighting back, and Reigns will never be WWE Champion. Tension between the babyfaces is needed, to sell the idea that Sheamus and crew are winning the war. Roman could react negatively to Ambrose, ensuring his pal that he has things in hand.
