8. How Will Owens and Ambrose Reignite Their Feud?
Last week, Kevin Owens missed both TV tapings due to illness, which is a shame when you consider that the Intercontinental Champion is one of the better workers and talkers on the roster right now. The good thing is that his TLC title defense against Dean Ambrose already was set up, so Monday should just be a matter of providing one last build toward the PPV bout. But how will these two talented performers get things amped up on Raw? Maybe Ambrose will call Owens out, only for the IC champ to remind everyone hes a prize fighter right before he blindsides Ambrose and hits a Pop-Up Powerbomb on him. Or perhaps Owens will annihilate a hapless wrestler as a tune-up and call out Ambrose only to slide out of the ring to further frustrate the Lunatic Fringe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2SkClRjhtA Both men have the ability to create memorable television, provided the writers actually bring out their best qualities rather than shoehorning the two into some contrived scenario.
