WWE Superstars Who Need to Turn Heel
2. Dean Ambrose
Before he was The Shield’s Lunatic Fringe, Dean Ambrose was simply a lunatic. The former independent wrestling star made waves with his incomparable promos cut under the name Jon Moxley, and likely earned WWE’s attention via those very videos.
Once Ambrose’s feud with Seth Rollins has run its course, it’s time to let his Moxley sign run free in WWE.
Psychotic heels don’t always get over, but Ambrose has the combination of mic work and body language to capture the heart of any segment. Much like Bray Wyatt, he’s the type of worker who you can put with any type of face and still produce a magnificent feud.
In the ring, Ambrose is too gifted of a cowardly heel to be face for much longer. The feud with Rollins should be as lengthy as necessary, but beyond that, Ambrose’s appeal as a face will lack in comparison to his status as a top-tier heel.
For WWE fans searching for a character definition, the Ambrose-Moxley mix would be somewhere in between Chris Jericho and Randy Orton in the ring. It’s a magnificent blend of Jericho’s unparalleled ability to get under an opponent’s skin and Orton’s maniacal violence.
All in all, Ambrose could be even bigger than he already is if he were to turn heel and embrace the Moxicity.
