Seth Rollins will return as a babyface and, in his first match back in action, capture the Money in the Bank briefcase for a second time. The following night on Raw, Rollins will confront Reigns, and for the first time in two years, both men will stand before the WWE Universe as fan favorites. That won't mean that their past issues will be forgotten, or that the fans will support them both equally (Rollins will be a huge favorite). Nevertheless, the former Architect of The Shield will take the high road, officially cashing-in his MITB briefcase for SummerSlam and giving Reigns a month's notice. The match itself won't go as smoothly. It'll be an exciting back-and-forth encounter that will see the fans "yay-boo" in Rollins's favor, but when Dean Ambrose comes down to the ring, the audience will know that something is up. Ambrose will attack Reigns with the referee's back turned, and an unaware Rollins will pick up the victory. The following night on Raw, Rollins will offer Reigns a rematch. In that bout, the truth will be revealed - Rollins and Ambrose will come together to destroy the former WWE Champion, cementing an alliance and leaving Reigns as the sole babyface of the former Shield members.
