7 Ways WWE Can Reintroduce Dean Ambrose

6. As A Heel On SmackDown

The world and its dog are hoping and praying that Dean Ambrose doesn’t return as a babyface. He has been a good guy for far too long, and it has generally been assumed that he will be at his most valuable as a heel. When Ambrose does return, that much-needed turn can’t be too far around the corner.

There are plenty of ways to make the change (more to come shortly), but there is plenty of value in moving Ambrose to SmackDown and allowing him to establish himself as a heel on Tuesday nights. The set-up of the RAW roster makes it difficult for any one individual to dominate on the heel side of things, and Ambrose as a secondary heel may well get lost in the shuffle.

By moving to SmackDown and turning heel, Dean Ambrose almost immediately offers a raft of fresh matches for the blue brand. His bouts with AJ Styles in late 2016 were great, but the consensus was that both men were miscast. The constant interference of James Ellsworth didn’t help either.

Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode and Randy Orton also await on SmackDown’s live babyface roster, and all three (the first two in particular) are new opponents for Ambrose — a program with potential WWE Champion Nakamura could be all the difference needed for SmackDown Live.
