Due to all the hubbub surrounding the WWE Draft, brand split and even the suspension of Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose hasn't had much focus as WWE World Heavyweight Champion. In a way, that's a shame.

The 'Lunatic Fringe' needs more time with the belt to really establish himself as a top guy, and that's why he shouldn't lose to Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam.

The match can be competitive (in fact, it really needs to be), but Ambrose winning is the right result come the end. The latest edition of SmackDown did a sterling job of selling the rising tensions between both men. Neither is necessarily a heel, they just feel the need to prove themselves as main event talent and gain permanent residence at the top of the card.

If Ambrose beats Ziggler, he can move on to another challenger. Someone like AJ Styles or even Randy Orton might be a shout, depending on whether or not WWE wish to give Dean a heel challenge.

As good as Dolph is, it's unlikely he's going to win the title this time.
