WWE : 10 Wrestling Soul Mates of the Modern Era

#5 Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins

"You are my wrestling soulmate..."-Seth Rollins to Dean Ambrose

The reason the discussion exists in the first place, on multiple occasions Seth Rollins has been vocal about what Dean Ambrose means to him in his career.

His first match against Ambrose ages ago on FCW, brought out in him something special and to this day he sees it as the turning point in their WWE careers.

There could have been no two different personas and wrestlers from the independents in the WWE together.

Where Rollins refined himself in Ring of Honor as the classic indie wrestler, Ambrose as Jon Moxley took the harsh path of defining his persona as that of a hardcore fanatic.

Yet the two bred themselves for the love of the business and that is what created magic in 2011 in that FCW ring.

It translated later when they united as two-thirds of an era-defining faction in the Shield. While WWE worked hard to make Roman Reigns the star of the group as they broke up, it allowed these two men to then build their own generational rivalry as a broken brotherhood spilled across years into Rollins final redemption and Dean's absolute revenge.

The culmination seeing the two come together, break apart once more and come together again.

As Ambrose rides into the sunset, its only fitting Rollins gets to acknowledge the weight on his heart of what his brother means to him.

The Shield might have been the Roman Reigns vehicle but there's no denying its the tragic but hopeful love story between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose.
