Dean Ambrose suffered an elbow injury on RAW several weeks ago and it was announced that he needed surgery. WWE announced that Dean would be out for up to 9 months after having the surgery. Ambrose was replaced as the tag team partner of Seth Rollins on RAW this week.
In a bit of a surprise, Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins became the new RAW Tag Team Champions after defeating Sheamus & Cesaro.
Here is the rumor:
In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscribe here), Dave Meltzer says that Finn Balor and Jason Jordan were the two Superstars considered to be Seth Rollins’ partner. As we now know, WWE ended up going with Jordan.
It also appears as if Jordan’s character could change now that he is Champion. Meltzer suggests that WWE has slowed down his heel turn and whiny character that we have seen over the past few months. It looks like he will be booked as a top babyface alongside Rollins for the time being.
Would you have preferred Balor or Jordan in the role of tag team partner?
