Now that is a heel move.

After Dean Ambrose finished telling everyone just how much of a brotherhood The Shield was, Acting GM Baron Corbin came out to throw down a unique challenge. He offered Ambrose three matches: an Intercontinental Championship match against Seth Rollins, a Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns, or a singles bout against Braun Strowman.

Ambrose didn’t take the bait, and he was thrown into a contest with Strowman, but the point wasn’t lost: Corbin tweaked Dean by making him choose between fighting his brothers for singles gold or taking a beating from Braun.

And after suffering that beating, Ambrose predictably noted that he could have had an easier night and even left a champion if he so chose. It was a clever heel move by Corbin.
