I was actually thinking of how I would bring in Dean Ambrose the other day. I have no clue what they are doing with NXT, but assuming that shit is dead in the water, here's how I would bring in Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, given their chemistry together:
* Theodore Long is talking to both backstage, since he wants to do his New Talent Initiative thingo that he did in ECW a few years back. He's reviewed the work of Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, and they both stand out, so he's signing them to SmackDown! contracts and they're going to get a chance to make a first impression by competing in a Best of Seven Series...against each other!
* Seth Rollins wins their first match, which you know will be great if you've seen any of their FCW stuff.
* The second match is also won by Rollins, and Ambrose is now starting to feel the crunch.
* The third match is won by Ambrose, when he rolls up Rollins using the tights, putting forth more of a heel edge.
* Rollins wins the third match when he reverses a heelish pin attempt from Ambrose into one where he himself uses the tights for a victory. Payback from their previous match. Rollins is now one win from taking the series.
* Ambrose wins the fourth match, this time cleanly, telling everyone that he can get stuff done, and not just look great losing.
* Ambrose then ties the series up when he goes a bit more nuts than usual (perhaps out of desperation), and he manages to get Rollins in a Crossface Chickenwing -- scoring the first submission fall of the series.
* The finals are then held (perhaps on PPV, if the series has been well-received). Rollins manages to get the victory there in the big finale, and pins Ambrose with God's Last Gift. You could have Rollins offer Ambrose his hand after the match, and have Ambrose accept.
From there, hopefully people know that both Rollins and Ambrose are capable of absolutely tearing it up. But you could continue an angle between them, perhaps with Ambrose insisting that he and Rollins form a tag team, given that they now respect each other, and know each other so well. Rollins can be a bit "Dude, I think you're crazy," at first, but eventually teams up with the super-insistant Ambrose. You can have them team for a few weeks/months (maybe even holding the WWE Tag Team Championship). Ambrose then loses his shit when they lose a match, and eventually turns on Rollins, perhaps even busting him up (a rare case when blood would be an effective storytelling device).
Rollins and Ambrose can then have a more "personal feud," wrestling in First Blood Matches (although it's unlikely the WWE would do one of these), No DQ Matches, Steel Cage Matches, etc. Since Rollins got to win the series, I'd have the final match of their feud come down to a Steel Cage Match, and after the sadistic Ambrose has dominated most of the match, Rollins has come back with a vicious flurry and seemingly incapacitated Ambrose long enough for Rollins to climb out with the victory. Rollins is on the top, but looks down at Ambrose. Instead of going for the victory, Rollins takes a chance off the top, misses, and Ambrose gets the cover for the three -- winning the feud, on a technicality, but with Rollins coming out looking like a "winner" in his own right.
