10 Worst Things About The Dean Ambrose/Roman Reigns Alliance
3. This Alliance Should Make You Ask Why It Wasn't Dean Ambrose Who Main Evented Wrestlemania?
Charismatic. Check. Grizzled veteran who's worked a ton of places and knows how to sustainably get over. Check. Has offensive maneuvers credible enough for people to believe that he can beat Brock Lesnar. Check. More importantly, crazy enough where people would believe that he could beat Brock Lesnar. Double check. He's known as the f***ing "Lunatic Fringe" for crying out loud! As compared to "big guy who bellows, spears people, looks like a world-beater and says 'believe that'" all of the time, it's possible to be more inclined to believe that the better choice for wrestling Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania was Dean Ambrose. Need proof? Check out that pop when he pinned Seth Rollins at Elimination Chamber. That's a lot more than "people just happy to see the evil heel champ get pinned."
