5 years of The Shield: Dean Ambrose's best and worst moments in WWE

#3 Best: 2014 babyface run

It’s difficult to put any of today’s WWE performers in the same bracket as greats like Stone Cold Steve Austin, but it’s not too much of an exaggeration to say that Dean Ambrose was getting Austin-esque reaction for a short period of time in 2014.

Shortly after The Shield split up, Roman Reigns was set to face Seth Rollins at the Night of Champions PPV. Reigns required surgery the day before the event, so it was ruled that Rollins won the match by forfeit.

However, he was interrupted by a returning Ambrose, who received one of the biggest reactions of his career, and he would go on to earn huge ovations on Raw in the weeks that followed ahead of their main-event match at Hell In A Cell.
