Dean Ambrose has experienced quite a roller coaster year from the beginning of 2018 until now. Following an injury in late 2017, which caused him to be sidelined for eight months, he made his return to assist Seth Rollins before his match at SummerSlam. Just two months later, Ambrose turned on his former Shield brethren and captured his Intercontinental Championship.

While he has always been known as a solid worker, his match against Rollins at the TLC pay-per-view was rumored to draw the ire of disappointment from Vince McMahon. Just recently, his short IC title run ended on the January 14, episode of WWE Raw during a triple threat match including Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley.
