7 Problems With The WWE Fastlane 2016 Main Event

5. Ambrose Is The Lame Third Wheel

Dean Ambrose is a very good pro wrestler, he's adept both on the mic and in the ring. However, at Fastlane, he's only in the match because WWE don't want to pin Lesnar or Reigns. That sort of booking devalues Dean, it makes him a lame character. The message is "Reigns and Lesnar are our stars, Ambrose is our jobber." He's only in the bout because he's expendable. In the long run, the story could be that resentment builds after Reigns pins him at Fastlane, leading to title matches in the spring. But in the short term, the booking just kills Ambrose. WWE have basically booked Brock Lesnar versus Roman Reigns 2, with Ambrose in there to take care of the finish.
