WWE superstar Dean Ambrose recently appeared on DC 101 with Mike Jones to talk WWE and WrestleMania 31.

During the interview, Ambrose discussed if Roman Reigns was ready to main event a WrestleMania, why the WWE Intercontinental Championship match could be the best match on the card, as well as what it would take to make the midcard title relevant again:

Roman Reigns in WrestleMania 31 Main Event

“There’s no way to prepare for a situation like that other than experience and the only way you get experience is by experiencing stuff. I think he’ll be fine. That’s a hell of a position to be put in, main event of WrestleMania, considering he’s only been wrestling since 2010 or 11, that’s the first time he stepped in the ring. So if you consider the learning curve that he’s had to deal with it’s amazing that’s he at this point. Only way you find out if you’re ready to do anything is just to do it!”

WWE Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match Stealing the Show at WrestleMania 31

“When you add in the guys that are in the match, and the stage that it’s on, WrestleMania, and it’s a lot of guys with a lot of chips on their shoulder this year that have worked hard for this moment. We’re all going to do our best to shine and steal the show, and when you get into a ladder match, that’s a lot of tools to work with.”

What It Will Take to Make Intercontinental Championship Relevant Again

“To me, I think it’s very easy to remedy. If I’m the Intercontinental Champion, or Dolph Ziggler, or Daniel Bryan is the Intercontinental Champion. To me it’s like, any one of those three are the best wrestlers on the planet and can main event any show in the world with the Intercontinental Championship match.”

Editor’s Note

Any of the three names Ambrose mentioned to win at WrestleMania are clearly the favorites, especially if that bout opens the show. Great way to build momentum by having a popular face win a Ladder match like that.
