All Good Things...

The friendship between Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns has been well documented by WWE. Ever since the Shield broke up last year, Reigns and Ambrose have remained friends and have even teamed up on a few occasions. Most recently, Reigns has served as the wingman of Ambrose and has helped him seemingly get into the head of the Authority and make a fool out of the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins. This comradery between the two former hounds of justice is too good to be true in the world that is WWE and has to lead to a dissolution of their friendship and give birth to a rivalry between these two men.

On the June 1, 2015, edition of Monday Night Raw, Reigns spoke to the Authority on behalf of Ambrose to open up the show. He told them that Ambrose wanted a ladder match for the belt at Money in the Bank. Rollins agreed to it and since Ambrose was not there, the Authority decided to punish Reigns by making him defend his spot in the Money in Bank ladder match three times. Reigns emerged victorious in each match and kept his spot, and at the end of the night, Ambrose showed up to help Reigns beat up the Authority before once again leaving the arena with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt. All seems to be perfect but as WWE has shown us before, all good things must come to an end and for Ambrose and Reigns, and that could happen at Money in the Bank.

I have two predictions as to how this feud between Ambrose and Reigns will start. I originally thought these two would feud earlier as I predicted that Reigns would turn on Ambrose at Elimination Chamber. I was wrong then, but I have more confidence in these predictions for Money in the Bank. I think that if Reigns wins the Money in the Bank briefcase earlier in the night, then Ambrose will win the WWE Championship ladder match only to drop the belt to Reigns as he cashes in the contract inside the briefcase. If Reigns does not win the Money in the Bank ladder match, then I think Ambrose will be a fingertip away from grabbing the belt only to have Reigns inadvertently knock him off the ladder in perhaps a failed attempt to combat interference from the Authority. Either way, I believe that the friendship between Ambrose and Reigns will end at Money in the Bank.

This would allow both men to have a high profile rivalry while WWE builds up feud between Rollins and a returning Brock Lesnar for SummerSlam. From there, all three former members of the Shield could possibly become intertwined in a rivalry that could culminate at Wrestlemania 32. WWE has teased this triple threat match for a while, and I think they will give it to wrestling fans at their biggest show of the year. Until that day though, WWE must focus on SummerSlam and a Reigns versus Ambrose battle could be on the card.
