Raw wasn't the same without an Ambrose run-in.

Ambrose is getting the crowd reactions that WWE wants Roman to have. "I hate two toned jerks who betray me" is such a relatable character.

I honestly think about half of it is that he doesn't sound like a WWE face and comes off as unscripted (even if he's actually being scripted).

From a storytelling standpoint he has motivation beyond "I want the world title." Wrestling doesn't need insanely nuanced characters, but it does need characters. Drunken homeless man is a character. Bizarre golden space brothers are characters. Two timing dancing jackass is a character, etc.

To be fair to Roman, they haven't given him much to work with aside from the Shield stuff.

It's such a shame that WWE apparently refuses to believe that it's possible to push more than one guy at once.

I think they were more interested in him as a commentator and he just wanted to wrestle. If only he'd stayed as part of 3MB.

God, I miss 3MB.

Well to be fair, it's not like Canada has much of a history with pro-wrestling. It's also noted for having very unenthusiastic fans.

I guess I should be outraged, but meh, whatevs.

That Cesaro theme is one step above a David Flair titantron.

That sounds like a combination made for youtube dubbing.

Which would immediately bring up the question of why doesn't The Authority just strip Brock for refusing to defend the title.

"Hey Seth, go challenge Brock for the titles tomorrow. We need them back."

"Um, no, no I can't. I have to walk around in front of Dean Ambrose's dumpster tomorrow, pretending to be a lost hiker."

"Kane?"

"I can't either. Demon things."

I can't wait for the Texas-style main event

Roman is the only one who'll be safe, that riot gear doubles as body armor.

Dean Ambrose, would you describe yourself and Seth Rollins as frenemies?
