I got curious so I looked it up. Ambrose, when he was with the Shield, held the US belt for 351 days, during which he defended it 14 times. So, basically, an average of once a month. Not great, not bad. However, that included a 4 month stretch where he didn't defend it at all, which is terrible.
It really would be nice to see them enforce that rule on a consistent basis. In the old days, they always made a big deal of forcing the heel to defend.
