10 Reasons Dean Ambrose Deserves To Be WWE Champion
4. Ambrose vs. Cena
If anything John Cena's time in the midcard has done, it's allowed him to actively start having to "wrestle" again. Never the "wrestler's wrestler"-as-World Champion, his matches as US Champion have shown him potentially able to transition into this role. The other way to get him into this role is to put him into a feud with Dean Ambrose as World Champion. Ambrose's ability to combine inventive brawling with "pure wrestling" is something that might be more up Cena's alley. The days of "Hulk Hogan style" heavyweight wrestling are long gone, and Cena's slow evolution into a heavyweight who can have another solid decade of contributing to WWE should involve having to wrestle someone who's a master of the style he should eventually emulate.
