The brotherhood between Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns has been great over the past couple months. Especially Monday's promo with Dean talking about Roman being the only real friend he has ever had. It all seemed heartwarming in the moment, but it got me thinking......Is this leading to something bigger?
Dean Ambrose is billed as being the Lunatic Fringe. Someone who is completely unpredictable, crazy and a uncontrollable. What would be more unpredictable and crazy than him turning on Roman Reigns at Summerslam. . They are even making it clear and emphasizing (in the promo above) that Dean never had any friends growing up and is generally a lone wolf. I think Dean turning on Roman would be a good move right now, and here is why:
1) It cements to the audience that Dean is 100% unpredictable and a true mad man turning on his brother and best friend.
2) Roman has looked most comfortable when he has been working alongside Dean in his promo work. It seems like he is having a lot of fun and being himself instead of sounding awkward and forced. This turn would set up a long term feud between Dean and Roman where they could continue to work together on the mic and in the ring.
3) That long term feud between Reigns and Ambrose would be something fresh that we haven't seen before.
4) Would give Roman great character motivation and depth moving forward. He has now been betrayed by his best two best friends. How will he respond. Learns to trust absolutely no one but himself.
Let's also dive more into it. We have talked about a third Wyatt family member being added for the past month.. Speculating with everyone who we think would be a good fit for the creepy, dysfunctional Wyatt family. What if it wasn't Bo Dallas or Adam Rose or anyone else we have speculated, but it was Dean Ambrose who is the 3rd Wyatt Family member, turning on Reigns in the process. This would be a great idea (other than what i mentioned above) because:
1) Dean and Wyatt cutting promos together would be PHENOMENAL. Bray Wyatt is the cult leader and Dean is the unhinged serial killer/maniac character just spreading fear across the WWE locker room.
2) I think just the overall shock from the fans would be great moving forward.
Not saying this is going to happen, just fun to speculate and why I think it would work. What would you think if Dean did turn on Roman? And what would you think if he was the third Wyatt member?
