WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Reasons Dean Ambrose Should Win

4. Dean Ambrose was Most Important to The Shield’s Success

Let’s face it, we all know who is looked at as the best member of The Shield in the company’s eyes. Roman Reigns is The Guy. He’s dominated the WWE landscape since The Shield split in the early summer of 2014. Also, though, Seth Rollins is The Man, having one of the most memorable moments in WrestleMania history when he cashed in Money in the Bank in the middle of the main event.

Ambrose has had a nice career, but he’s short on defining moments, and that’s just not fair, considering the other two guys wouldn’t be where they are without him.

The Shield are, arguably, the greatest group in the history of professional wrestling. They all improved throughout their time together, and they all had a specific role that they played very well. However, at the beginning, Ambrose was undoubtedly the leader. He did most of the talking; he was the most comfortable of the group in the ring; and he set the tone for what Reigns and Rollins would model themselves after as characters, as they moved forward and grew as a unit.
