2: Dean Ambrose’s next challenger emerges

Ambrose retained the WWE Championship at WWE Battleground.

Against all odds, Dean Ambrose retained the WWE Championship for SmackDown after winning the Shield triple threat match at WWE Battleground. He pinned the returning Roman Reigns clean to retain his coveted belt and arrives at SmackDown as the show’s top star. With SummerSlam approaching, WWE have to establish a new challenger for his championship as soon as possible so that the story has time to build.

One thing that SmackDown can’t afford to have is any sort of #1 Contender’s tournament to decide who will face Dean at SummerSlam because their roster is just too thin. With Cena and Styles busy with their own program and Randy Orton facing Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, the best option for Ambrose’s title at this moment seems to be The New Face of Fear, Bray Wyatt.
