Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose would seem to be the clear No. 2 in this race to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion at WWE Survivor Series. He is one of the top babyfaces the company has with John Cena and Randy Orton out, so there’s a chance the former CZW star gets a shot with the top title.

Ambrose has been no stranger to the main event scene since The Shield split in June 2014. He headlined WWE Hell in a Cell 2014, WWE Elimination Chamber 2015 and WWE Money in the Bank 2015 one on one with Rollins and proved to hold his own. The fans love him too, probably more than Reigns. They got behind him during his main event matches with Rollins and surely would if he got a chance to be the WWE WHC for the first time.

Ambrose was set to go into a WWE Intercontinental Championship feud with Kevin Owens, but those plans are probably scrapped now.

Ambrose and Roman Reigns could easily meet in the finals of this tournament whenever the details come out for it. This could be the beginning of a rivalry between these two with one turning heel. Would WWE pull the trigger on it? At this point, possibly, since Rollins is out and anything is probably an option right now.
