Only when the champion is a weak heel/over the top good guy. Hunter is neither. He has been presented as a total badass since the rumble and should just beat Dean clean as a whistle if he walks out of Roadblock with the belt.
Should WWE look at Roadblock as a test?

I'd be fine with that outcome, but going by WWE's logic, I doubt that's how they'll be approaching it.
We'll see, though. If they end up having Trips defeat Ambrose clean, then that'll be a surprise, I guess.

But as you said, Hunter knows exactly what's going on here.
"So I'm gonna destroy Ambrose, get all this heat and look like a dominant BAMF to be as big of an odd for Roman to overcome at Mania!?" Come on son.
Does make sense for the characters but not from a meta standpoint

lol Dean isn't winning the title at Roadblock. If they were seriously considering putting the belt on him, they'd wait out the big moment till Wrestlemania, since Mania is built on iconic moments like people finally capturing the gold, and winning the championship for the very first time is a lot more epic than just merely retaining it. HHH should walk into Mania as the villainous champion, no matter what.
Even if Ambrose won the strap this Saturday, it wouldn't be him versus Brock for the title at Mania, it'd be a four-way between he, HHH, Reigns, and Brock. Reigns won the right to fight for the title at Mania fair and square at Fast Lane and his animosity with Hunter is largely embroiled over being screwed out of the championship, his bestest buddy Dean can't just win it and carry it over to his feud with Lesnar and leave Roman with nothing.
I personally think they're gonna end up changing the WM main event regardless. I have a feeling they'll merge Reigns vs HHH and Brock vs Ambrose into one match and they may even end up throwing Bray Wyatt into the mix as well (Sheamus too, if they wanna make it a six-way.)

No, not clean as a whistle. Ambrose can't lose momentum on his road to Lesnar. I highly, highly doubt he'll win. I don't expect him to. But it'd be smart to play into his character they've been going with. Triple H just needs to throw everything at him, but Ambrose won't stay down. Cue the typical 'reff takes small bump and is down for 10 minutes' spot, and Ambrose takes advantage. He hits his finisher, but the reff just won't move. No other reff comes to do the count(could say The Authority threatened them to back off). Dean tries to wake up the reff, and that's were HHH hits him with a low blow. Then spit on him, something. Be such a heel the crowd just despises it. Triple H gets his sledgehammer and beats the crap out of Ambrose, and then finishes him off.
Orr Ambrose is able to take the sledgehammer from Trips, and hits him a couple of times only to be caught by the ref and DQ'd.
Either way Ambrose looks strong in defeat, and the crowd will hate Triple H for destroying their fan favorite. Not saying that it'll shift the crowd at Mania, but it could be a little bit more in Roman's favor. Even if it is 30% of the crowd that cheers him, it'll be an improvement.

Why overbook it so much? Ambrose losing a close match does more for him than a clusterfuck ending IMO.
I can actually see why Vince is testing the waters. Put the belt on Ambrose and have Roman do a heel turn after Ambrose wins at Mania. Roman comes out all "YOU STOLE MY SPOTLIGHT YOU SON OF A -" Then we all get the Roman we deserve and desperately need right now.
I would love that.
Also, Ambrose would take an awesome beating from Roman. lol

Should save that close match for Mania, don't expect him to win at there either. He shouldn't lose big match after match, clean or not.
Think it could get a lot more overbooked, though. The LoN, Lesnar, Roman, they could all factor into the outcome. But I'd rather one of the two outcomes I posted over numerous run-ins.
