WWE: 10 Reasons Seth Rollins Heel Turn Was A Mistake

9. Dean Ambrose Is A Better Choice

Dean Ambrose was been pushed as the "lunatic fringe" of the Shield trio. As well, his creepy promo style and definite allusions in in-ring movements to the likes of Jake "The Snake" Roberts make him a fantastic choice to be a heel. Yes, it's clear that the heel had to be the type of character that could stand next to Triple H and Evolution. Crazy Dean Ambrose likely doesn't fit that role as well as Seth Rollins, but let's remove the potential need for the ex-Shield member to be in Evolution. The idea of Ambrose being offered membership in the Shield, but respectfully turning Hunter down could have made for cool TV and the creation of Ambrose as the kind of slimeball who doesn't want or need to be friends with anyone. As a true heel, Ambrose is best suited for WWE. There are a number of heels in the company, like Cesaro and Bad News Barrett, who engender a certain level of support from the crowd that doesn't lend well to them being perceived as pure heels. At some point, the lack of pure heels on the mid-card is going to be a major issue for the company. The matches between the opening match and the main event are intrinsic to a whole card being great. if between the beginning and end, the middle of the show (on the singles side) features good wrestlers doing good wrestling, with nary a clear definition of babyface and heel to be found, that's troublesome. Ambrose being a heat machine in that role would have been perfect, and could have also been best kicked off with him turning heel on the Shield, AND not needing or wanting Evolution aiding his career.
