10 Superstars Who Gained The Most From WWE's Wellness Policy
3. Dean Ambrose
Roman Reigns is gone for 30 days and cannot be WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Someone else has to take the title. Seth Rollins certainly benefitted, but the biggest beneficiary is the man currently holding the championship, Dean Ambrose.
Never mind cashing in and winning the title, we may never know if Dean Ambrose would have even won the Money in the Bank briefcase were it not for Reigns' suspension. We do know, however, that Reigns' impending absence has created a main event void that Ambrose is about to fill.
Winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is huge. It's a landmark career achievement that can never be taken away. Ambrose will have his name etched alongside the WWE greats who've held the title before him. He's a part of history.
Ambrose stands to benefit even more in the near future. He's been the odd man out, enjoying less main event success than his fellow alumni from The Shield. Rollins was the handpicked heel champion for The Authority while Reigns was chosen to follow John Cena as WWE's top babyface for years to come. Ambrose can throw a wrench into all of that.
Dean Ambrose now has 30 headlining days and a WWE World Heavyweight Championship that he can use to set the WWE Universe on fire. He has what most never get, a chance. Ambrose now has the chance to give WWE pause about going right back to Reigns as the top guy a month from now.
The timing gets even better for Ambrose when considering the draft. There will be two brands in need of main event talent. Ambrose in in the driver's seat to secure a regular spot in the Raw or Smackdown main event.
