Final Elimination: Dean Ambrose

Here’s where things get a little interesting.

As of press time, Dean Ambrose is currently the Intercontinental Champion. There’s no way we’re going to see a double champion heading into WrestleMania season. He is not winning this match.

But based on everyone else involved, he kind of has to go all the way to the end. Out of six competitors, there’s only two true babyfaces: Cena and Ambrose. Styles is a tweener on his best day, and Miz, Corbin, and Wyatt are clearly on the heel side.

Would you book a main event, special attraction world championship match that came down to nothing but bad guys in the end? It’s insane.

If the shock value of Cena being first eliminated is the route they’re going, then Ambrose has to last until the end, so the fans have someone to pull for. It’s the only logical way to lay out the match.

And for it to come down to Ambrose vs. Wyatt in the end, we get a bit of a rehash of the old Shield vs. Wyatt Family feud. Those matches were always fantastic, and even in a one on one capacity we can relive a little of that. Just no ghost children, or exploding TVs, or anything like that.
