16 Things We Learned From Dean Ambrose On Stone Cold's WWE Network Podcast
5. Did He Feel Left Out?
Stone Cold wants to know if, after the breakup of The Shield Ambrose ever felt left behind while he watched Rollins win the title and garner success and Reigns receive the push that he did.
He talks about how the original plans for the split were for him to go heel but the company decided to go a different direction, and he'd been intentionally portraying the biggest jerk in the group because he never expected to have to get the crowd to like him.
Once he was informed of the plans, he told someone close to him that in one year, WWE would have a babyface that they didn't want and it was going to be him. He said he didn't know how he was going to do it but he just went out there in the babyface role and started busting his *ss and the people began getting behind him.
