The Lunatic Fringe had an amazing year as a singles competitor. Ambrose has been a consistent main eventer for the Smackdown brand, helping Shane-O-Mac get the Blue Brand right into the driver’s seat as possibly the current front-runner in weekly WWE programing.
Dean has proved that he's equally as valuable as a babyface or a heel. 2016 was definitely a defining year for Ambrose, as he carried the WWE World Championship for over 80 days before dropping it to the current champion, AJ Styles.

2017 has started off with a bang for Ambrose as well. Dean just captured the WWE Intercontinental Championship by defeating The Miz on Smackdown.
It's also worth noting that The Miz has elevated the status of the Intercontinental Title by leaps and bounds during his reign with the strap. Now that Dean has the belt, it gives him a perfect opportunity to continue the trend left by The Miz.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
