Dean Ambrose is a baby face. But unlike the ones that go out there to please fans, Ambrose has a character that does whatever he wants, irrespective of whether the fans like it. At times, it feels like that he doesn’t even care what the fans think. But the booking of Ambrose has been that of a clear-cut babyface and this is what lands him on the list.

The year started with the Intercontinental Championship feud for Ambrose and he was the runner-up of this year’s Royal Rumble as well. A showdown with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania brought Ambrose attention but as he mentioned later in an interview, the match would’ve been more entertaining if WWE had let him do the things he wanted.

Another high point in the year for Ambrose was winning the Money in the Bank briefcase. He wasted no time and cashed in on the same night to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

He would then go on to save the face of SmackDown Live ahead of the brand split by defeating his Shield brothers to take the WWE championship to Tuesday night. With so much to show for the year, it has been a great year for Ambrose and hopefully, he would be able to carry forward the momentum to 2017 as well.
