Let’s face it: Raw works best when all of its best assets are available to be used. Even if it’s not great, at least the potential is there for greatness.

So when Dean Ambrose officially rejoined the fold Monday night, it was a nice moment. The fact that he arrived to provide backup to Seth Rollins against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre made it even better. Those two teams could have a nice series of interchangeable matches, and even compete in the tag team division, seriously bolstering its ranks.

Ambrose also is a singles threat himself, plus it opens the door for other possibilities going forward. There just are many more options on Raw now, and after being gone for so long, Ambrose feels fresh. Here’s hoping he stays healthy and is used properly.
