Speculation has ramped up in recent weeks that Roman Reigns blood brother will soon turn his back on him, leaving Reigns without a friend and forced to fight uphill battles alone. And while Dean Ambrose has been an enormously popular face for WWE during the past year, its clear that the company isnt about to make him The Man. Bray Wyatt has been feuding with Reigns throughout the summer, first costing Roman the Money in the Bank briefcase, then beating him at Battleground with a little help from prodigal son Luke Harper. With the odds stacked against him, Reigns turned to his brother-in-arms, Ambrose, who has had Romans back ever since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSXRpVQAP4o But its interesting to note that Triple H dropped a little hint Monday, calling Ambrose Romans so-called brother and best friend. It was subtle, and it might not mean anything, but it wasnt said by accident. So could that mean that Ambrose is going to turn on Roman? Maybe he just walks out. Or maybe he doesnt turn his back just yet, but the seeds are planted. Either way, if youre expecting just a simple tag match with no extraneous stories attached to it, you might be surprised. It just feels like its time to shake things up a little.
