Andy Will Be Angry If…: WWE Fastlane Edition

Barrett Ambrose

WWE Intercontinental Championship

Bad News Barrett (c) vs. Dean Ambrose

Hindsight is 2020.  In a perfect world, #BNB would have been on TV every week during his recovery, delivering bad news and keeping his character hot. They didn’t . They’re trying now, and BNB has been unarguably entertaining since his return.  But you know what? You don’t rebuild with a title.  In wrestling, in 2015, it doesn’t work.

I’ll be angry if: Barrett retains.  A big Ambrose win would help the belt, and help this show, considering the main event  is not likely to end the way the crowd wants it to.

I’ll keep my cool if: Ambrose wins.  He’s perpetually over, and his overness and work style will really go well with the Intercontinental title.  Much like I mentioned with the Tag title picture, there are a ton of heels who could line up for title shots, including Barrett, former champion Luke Harper, Seth Rollins, The Miz… you get the idea.

I’m expecting: Part of me says “it makes perfect sense for Ambrose to go over, so he will.”  But Ambrose is Teflon, and Barrett needs to rebuild momentum.  Barrett wins when Ambrose slips on a banana peel, and eats a Bull Hammer.
