The brand split isn't far away, in fact it was exactly one month from Money In The Bank happening. On July 19, WWE will hold a live edition of SmackDown and split their roster in two. It's fair to assume that there could be more than one World Title again, meaning it was imperative that Dean Ambrose shed the briefcase quickly.

Fans didn't have to wait too long to see Ambrose cash in; he did so less than an hour after winning the Money In The Bank Ladder Match. That felt exciting, because having him carry the briefcase on television may have muddled things a little too much.

WWE have a lot going on, and it's crucial that the brand extension takes centre stage. It's better to have things clean going in, with someone like Ambrose on top of the mountain as WWE World Heavyweight Champion on Raw or SmackDown.

From there, things can evolve logically, and WWE can introduce a new title on the other show that doesn't have one. Over time, it'll become clear that Ambrose cashing in at Money In The Bank was the correct strategy.
