Get him in some solid programs as a heel to build up meanwhile you build Ambrose in to your face champion and that leads to more jealousy from Reigns that his buddy is over and fans are behind Ambrose but not him. Eventually the turn will work but he needs a really good heel run.
I think the time has come and gone on that, at least for now. You had the perfect opportunity at Survivor Series not just because you had a ready-made story but because you had several months worth of opponents. He turns heel and yeah joins The Authority because I think him turning on the fans and throwing there boo's back in there faces would be a key part of that character. He feuds with Ambrose to the Rumble. He feuds with Lesnar from the Rumble to WM. It would've been Cena coming out of the Rumble (although that part would obviously have to be modified) and he finally drops the title to a returning Rollins at Summerslam. And then after that you start building dissension between him and The Authority eventually culminating with him and HHH at WM 33. That's 16 months of story lines with the guy that eventually culminates with him being a, hopefully, really over turned babyface. There are ways to do a heel turn now but that was the best one they had.
