WWE.com - Could Dean Ambrose turn heel?

When a performer returns from injury, the instant reaction is for them to get a hugely positive response. For Dean Ambrose, he could well be best served to go against the grain here and come back as a vicious, ruthless heel.

Of course, that first appearance or two will see him cheered simply by habit and by the excitement of seeing the former Shield member back in action, but if the WWE handles it correctly (which is a big if!), then they could have a true top tier heel on their hands in Dean Ambrose.

Removing the almost comedic edge that Ambrose has built up over the past few years is key to refreshing the character and stopping him falling in to the rut he was in before his injury, and having him target a pure babyface act – someone such as Seth Rollins or AJ Styles – would be a great way to give him that menacing edge as a heel upon his return.
