If World Wrestling Entertainment had a "must see" feud among their bubbling to the surface crew of younger grapplers, there may be no more important matchup than that featuring Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt. Yes, it's an awkward pairing. However, that's almost by intention. Wyatt is the calculating and reserved maniac, while Ambrose portrays the certifiable lunatic willing to incite profound emotion on any level at the drop of a hat. If using historical corollaries, it would be akin to the strange consideration of "Rogue Horseman" Brian Pillman feuding with The Undertaker circa the same era. Though absolutely nobody (outside of passionate die-hards) could've contemplated the potential for interaction between these two unique, yet dissimilar icons, upon deeper contemplation it sounds exciting for sure. Wyatt's perverse morality versus Ambrose's complete lack of respect for a moralistic imperative. Two gifted in-ring brawlers with unique presentations allowed a ring to use as a canvas for an art most bizarre. The potential as well for Luke Harper and Erick Rowan to have breakout performances. There are so many intriguing variables at play when considering a feud between these two rising stars that though the feud doesn't quite write itself, it opens up literally hundreds of options. Here are ten of said options presented in a linear fashion over a six-month arc.
