Dean Ambrose was one of the bigger fan favorites in WWE ever since he stood alongside Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins as part of The Shield, and even after they broke up, he would still be one of the bigger stars on the roster. He never reached the heights that many thought he could though in WWE, something he's brought into focus with just how well he's done in AEW since joining, which he did in the early days before it was quite the powerhouse it has become. That's why John Cena thought it apt to bring up the topic of Ambrose during a recent promo battle against Reigns, who Cena said ran Ambrose out of WWE. In a new interview with Ariel Helwani on BT Sport, Reigns was asked about that comment, and while he said he might've been the man here, he couldn't be the man ultimately because Reigns occupies that space (transcription via Fightful).
