10 Reasons Dean Ambrose Deserves To Be WWE Champion

Anyone willing to get powerbombed as much as Dean Ambrose deserves something, right?

Not-so-quietly anymore, but Dean Ambrose has been putting together a World Championship level body of work in WWE since his 2013 debut as a member of The Shield. Actually, if you backtrack even further, Ambrose has been a money player in WWE since his time in FCW, where in 2011 his stellar feud and series of matches with William Regal arguably predicted his later success. No matter how you look at it though, Ambrose is a big money peformer in WWE and absolutely deserving of more. When Dean Ambrose defeated Seth Rollins at Elimination Chamber, those cheers for Ambrose were not of the "oh hey, they heel champion just lost" variety. They were a bit deeper than that, maybe symbolic of the WWE Universe feeling like a deserving guy was getting a well-deserved opportunity. Same for Money In The Bank. The Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers 2014-2015 season NFL playoff aping finish of the match was so well done because it allowed the fans until the very last millisecond to think that Ambrose was again about to get the opportunity he deserved. Will Ambrose get his due? More than certainly he will, likely within the next 18 months. He's gritty and uniquely entertaining, an outside of the box throwback in the modern era. Here's 10 reasons why he deserves the success likely to come his way.
