Triple H vs. Dean Ambrose for WWE Title Announced for 2016 Roadblock

Mike ChiariMar 1, 2016

One day after Triple H accepted Dean Ambrose's challenge of a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match, WWE officially set up their clash on Thursday for March 12's WWE Roadblock event at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto.

WWE revealed the news on its website and also rebranded the WWE Network special, which was originally called March to WrestleMania: Live from Toronto.

The match between The Game and The Lunatic Fringe came to pass on Monday's edition of Raw when Ambrose interrupted Triple H's promo to open the show.

The King of Kings was running down Ambrose's former Shield partner, Roman Reigns, after a brutal attack left The Big Dog incapacitated with a broken nose the previous week.

Triple H assured Ambrose that he would provide him with an answer later that night and did precisely that after the unstable Superstar was attacked by The League of Nations, according to WWE Universe:

Ambrose also received a beatdown at the hands of the world champion akin to the one Reigns absorbed the previous week, albeit far less bloody.

Triple H is scheduled to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 32 on April 3 on the heels of Reigns' defeating both Ambrose and Brock Lesnar in a No. 1 contender's match at Fastlane 2016.

Meanwhile, Ambrose is slated to lock horns with The Beast Incarnate in what promises to be a brutal street fight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

While it is possible that WWE could pull off a major swerve by having Ambrose win the title at Roadblock, it seems unlikely less than a month prior to the show of shows.

A more realistic scenario would involve Lesnar interfering and costing Ambrose the title to further their rivalry.

Although that may seem anticlimactic to some, the prospect of a dream match between Ambrose and Triple H remains compelling regardless.
