John Cena. Brock Lesnar. Randy Orton. Roman Reigns. What do they have in common? They're all babyfaces and they are all considered major priorities for WWE that are all higher on the totem pole than Ambrose is. You could throw in The Undertaker too, but he's really not around enough. When it looked like Ambrose defeated Rollins for the WWE Title a few months ago it popped the crowd and made them wish it was true, but it was just an angle to set up a rematch. It's not like WWE truly sees Ambrose as a main eventer that they are going to push more than those other names I mentioned. It's pretty obvious that WWE wants Reigns in the Cena role. He's not the talker that Cena is, but in terms of being protected he's very similar. Ambrose has lost clean plenty of times while Reigns almost never does. What's better for a wrestler? Being the fifth biggest face or being a top two heel? It's the heel role and it's not even close, really. Ambrose has all the tools to be the top heel in WWE. It's just a matter of time until it becomes a reality. Keep watching because it could happen sooner than you think.
