10 Things We Learned From WWE Newcastle Live
2. Dean Ambrose Is The Biggest Superstar On SmackDown, But...
Dean Ambrose garnered the largest reaction of the night by a mile, and clearly remains the most over superstar on the SmackDown roster (if we're not counting the absent John Cena). His main event with AJ Styles was the best match on the card, and even though the pair worked an understandably slower pace than usual, they still put together a well-structured, dramatically paced match with an excellent finish.
On a roster that can, at times, feel incredibly thin, Ambrose is absolutely crucial to the blue brand's success. Without him, they'd be lacking a considerable amount of pure, babyface star power - which is unfortunate for fans like me, who desperately want to see him as a heel.
