If they don't turn things up in the second half of 2015 for Ambrose, he might be stuck in the mid card.
Before tonight, I figured maybe he'd turn things around and possibly win MITB.
When I found out tonight was KOTR and Ziggler lost due to Sheamus, I figured Ziggler would cost Sheamus his match (actually, I thought Neville was facing Sheamus) and Ambrose would go on to win the tournament and then, possibly MITB.
But right now, his break out, at the very least, won't begin until the Rumble next year and I seriously question the reality of that.
I personally feel the worst thing they could've done was put him in a feud with Bray. It was a situation where, if you're going for Bray/Taker, you need to build Bray up and give him some credibility but Ambrose was the only guy to provide that and he really needed some help going forward, himself. So, that stopped the little momentum he had. It was just a mess that didn't benefit anybody, on top of the fact that it was a 3 month program, which really limited Ambrose, per the destination, which was to build Bray.
I don't know. Maybe they can throw something together and build him for MITB. I hope so, anyway, because of my ideal fantasy to set up a Shield triple threat for WM, with him winning the title. But, a more safer bet for that briefcase, to me, is Bray. Not sure why, though.
