12 Reasons Dean Ambrose Could Be Going Heel At WWE Payback

4. The Insider Verdict

The suggestion amongst the insiders is that a turn could be coming. The late change to the main event was discussed in Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, which states "It also gives them the chance if they want to turn them on Orton, because the company is weak on the heel side and there are new babyfaces they can push either up the card or introduce in higher positions." The internet wrestling community as a whole is guessing at the potential for Ambrose to flip sides. It just doesn't stack up that he'd go from a nothing feud with Luke Harper to a WWE title shot. It feels like something else is at play. Conspiracy theories aside, the insiders have been saying for months that Ambrose deserves better. Perhaps an upcoming heel turn is what he's been waiting for.
