WWE Extreme Rules 2017: 10 Things That Must Happen

Dean Ambrose requires a complete rethink from those writing his storylines.

A move from SmackDown to Raw hasn't solved the problem of staleness for the 'Lunatic Fringe', nor has that brand shakeup worked wonders for his Intercontinental Title reign. It's time to remove the belt from Dean and put it on The Miz.

The entire stipulation of the match demands this too, because it'll be easy for Miz to goad a hot head like Ambrose into losing his cool, bashing the heel with a weapon and thus being disqualified. If WWE are going to go that route, they better make it worthwhile. Ambrose has to get medieval on on his smug rival.

Something like a barbed wire baseball bat suits Dean to a tee, so that's one option. Please, WWE, don't book a sketchy ending on this one; the match has to follow what you've already laid out. Besides, Miz is better with the IC Title than he is without. It gives him something to brag about.
