"Nobody can do what I do"

4 months ago, Ambrose was noticeably put on the backburner and kept away from the World Heavyweight Title picture. I was worried about how he seems to have straggled behind as WWE continued to push Roman "Captain Recap Tater Tots SON" Reigns. Ambrose, however, didn't seem worried himself and was simply content with just wrestling and putting on a great show for fans every single night. Since then, a number of things have happened that have opened a new door for him:

• Seth Rollins got injured and was forced to vacate the title
• Said title was put in a tournament at Survivor Series to determine the new WWE Champion
• Reigns defeated Ambrose to become the new WWE Champion, only to lose it to Sheamus
• Ambrose became a #1 contender for Owens' IC title
• Ambrose defeated Owens to become the new IC Champion
• Ambrose retained against Owens in a Last Man Standing Match at the Royal Rumble
• Ambrose was in the final 2 and was eliminated by HHH in the Royal Rumble
• Ambrose, Reigns, and Lesnar are the main event for Fastlane, where the winner will be #1contender to face off against HHH at Wrestlemania Star
  

Looking back, it's great to see that his patience and reliability has greatly paid off and it certainly elevated his status as WWE's utility player. And now it looks like Ambrose is being put to the test again as it was announced that he, Reigns, and Lesnar are the main event for Fastlane. Putting creative and booking decisions aside, the fact that they're throwing him, the current IC champ, into the World Heavyweight Title is huge. Still, no one was convinced on the possibility that Ambrose could go against HHH, let alone headline Wrestlemania, and that he's simply there to take the pin from Reigns. His recent sit-down interview with Cole pretty much erased all doubts. 

This is not the content Ambrose from 4 months ago. Hell, this is not even the same Ambrose from last month, where he was a chill IC champ beaming with pride. This is Ambrose in PPV mode, where he's all fired up, fearless, and loud. He's not the least bit scared about Brock Lesnar and he certainly isn't worried about his friendship with Reigns affecting his goal; which is to prove to everyone that he's one of the best in this game. That promo sold me. If WWE is going to pull the trigger on Ambrose, it needs to happen at his home town.
