#9 Dean Ambrose
Obviously, WWE will want to go for some of the big players on the roster and Dean Ambrose is somebody who is often overlooked, sadly. He tends to be the last option when other performers have already had their time and yet his feuds tend to deliver nearly every time.
Ambrose has a conflicting style when compared to Angle, which is part of the fun. Of course, there will be people on this list who could chain wrestle with the best of them, but after seeing that multiple times, it would be nice to have Angle booked in a feud with someone who has more of a brawler’s mentality.
This clash of methodologies is not something that has tripped Angle up in the past, since he’s had more than his fair share of No Disqualification matches during his tenure in WWE and TNA, but rarely has he gone up against someone with the intensity of The Lunatic Fringe.
Unfortunately, Ambrose is almost always booked as the loser in these scenarios and the same would apply here, but this isn’t a list about the best ways to give Ambrose a boost—it’s about interesting matches Kurt Angle could have.
Given the choice between pairing him up with Brock Lesnar or John Cena again, which we’ve already seen before, or something brand new, I’d opt for the fresher opponent.
