May 4, 2015: The Day Ambrose Fans Collectively Lost Their Sh*t



I can't stop smiling. Last night's Monday Night RAW was the most enjoyable show I've seen in a long time.

To recap:

  • Dean Ambrose pinned Seth Rollins to get into the main event at Payback for the WWE Championship.
  • The New Day apparently celebrated for two hours straight after beating Reigns and Orton in a 3-vs-2 match. "We did it Kane!"
  • Cesaro uppercutting Victor of The Ascension nonstop for a minute at the turnbuckles.
  • Lana showing personality and Fandango'ed with Fandango.
  • Bret Hart came out and was about to introduce a great wrestler until Heath Slater interrupted. Hart bonked him with a mic and resumed to introduce NXT favorite and native son Sami Zayn to accept John Cena's open challenge.
  • Stardust won against R-Truth with a bag of plastic spiders.
  • Naomi and Tamina established themselves as the new heel Divas since the Bellas are faces again.
  • DEAN FUCKING AMBROSE closed the show.

It was just incredible to not only see Ambrose fight Rollins again but to see Ambrose do SOMETHING.Their white-hot feud was ruined by a stupid hologram at Hell In A Cell last year and his matches since then has been marred with stupid endings (like the exploding TV end with Bray Wyatt) and disappointing losses. To see him get added to a main event PPV shows that WWE is listening and pushing Ambrose again.

I'm just interested to see what Ambrose will do next. Does Ambrose still see Reigns as his brethren or competitor? Will he continue to torment Rollins again, like he did with the hot dog cart, rigging the MITB suitcase, and most famously, the ice bucket challenge? There's rumors that he'll probably turn heel, considering that he's one of 3 faces against a heel. Even though Ambrose retaliated at Orton for RKO-ing Reigns, he looked genuinely conflicted on wanting to help Reigns up. At this point, I would welcome any new development with Ambrose, just as long as it makes sense.
