Why is the most viable member of the Shield getting the smallest push?

Never heard of him before he hit the main roster, so save your "indie" angle, trolls.



For me WWE were right when they put most of the focus on Ambrose at the beginning and gave him the US title. As far as I can hear, Ambrose is every bit as over as Reigns. He's vastly superior on the mic (mid 90s Bret Hart humiliates Reigns as a talker), and significantly better in the ring (three cool Reigns spot moves can't carry a 30 minute pay-per-view main event). Sure, Reigns looks like a film star, but Ambrose himself has a strong female following (at least online) and is hardly an ugly guy despite the whole scuzzy, "lunatic" styling. When suited and booted at the Slammys he looked great. With some airbrushing he'd look superb on posters.



I like Reigns, but he's a million miles from a complete main-eventer, and I think a backlash could be imminent if this unfinished product is pushed down our throats. Ambrose is already there and could be the Roddy Piper of this generation. If Ambrose has any rookie tendencies in the ring, his mic skills completely render them an afterthought.
