3 ways Dean Ambrose's walkout could turn out

Last week on Monday Night Raw, The Shield took on The Dogs of War in a WWE Super Show-Down rematch. After an exciting bout, Strowman and company beat the formidable trio of Ambrose, Reigns, and Seth Rollins.

However, this wasn't the only development. The heel alliance showed some cracks, and so did the faces. Braun Strowman, The Monster Among Men, snapped on Ziggler, and shared an intense stand off with The Scottish Psychopath Drew McIntyre.

On the good side, an exhausted Dean Ambrose chose not to join his fallen brothers in the ring, and decided walk backstage alone. WWE also released a video later in which he seemed to be done with the faction.

What this means is nobody's guess. Is Dean Ambrose turning heel? Will he join Strowman and company? Could we see a Shield break-up yet again? These questions still remain, and they need to be answered logically soon.

Here are 3 ways the walkout of The Lunatic could turn out.

#1 The Shield breaks up amicably

Following his walkout, WWE released a video of a backstage interview of Ambrose, who said that maybe he didn't fit in anymore. This didn't put forth deceit, it put forth frustration.

WWE has so openly teased the idea of Ambrose turning heel. WWE could do a segment where Ambrose has a heart to heart with his brothers. He shares his feelings, and The Shield disband amicably.

This would endear the team more to the fans, and while we'd have to wait for cracking matches between these competitors, the three could go their own separate ways. This way WWE could preserve their top babyfaces, keeping them all crowd favourites (if you can call Reigns that) at the same time.

#2 Ambrose turns heel

Looks the part, why not play it?

Well this is one of the most logical outcomes right now. The Lunatic Fringe turning on his brothers has been so heavily implied that everyone is expecting a Shield break-up due to Ambrose. The announcers are hinting at it, and that's one of the major reasons why this could really really come true.

It would make sense in a way. Rollins is the IC Champion, and the Universal title isn't going away from Reigns' shoulder anytime soon. This leaves Ambrose in a limbo. You can have your top star only for so long without a title. How are you supposed to root for someone who doesn't hold the gold or demand it?

If Ambrose turns heel, he could feud with Rollins for his IC title, or move to the blue brand to reclaim the United States Championship.

#3 He gets thrown out of the faction

While this is the unlikeliest of all outcomes, it is the most logical one. Never has the integrity of The Shield been doubted so much. These three were supposed to be the guys that would always have each other's backs.

Now cracks seem to appear. Ambrose doesn't seem happy, the team isn't cohesive enough, and there just isn't enough space for so many top babyfaces.

At the same time, The Shield isn't about loyalty, it's about dishing out justice. Rollins and Reigns should logically get tired of the tease and unpredictability of Ambrose betraying them. To put an end to this with finality, they may chose to throw him out, maybe replace him with someone, say Finn Balor.

This would mean turning the two top faces of the brand heel, it is the most unlikely outcome.
