Dean Ambrose may be the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but it was always going to be important that WWE didn't forget all about Seth Rollins. Returning from a serious knee injury at Extreme Rules, he also had to have some focus at Money In The Bank, and he was rightly booked to defeat Roman Reigns.

Think about that: right before Ambrose spoiled his party, Rollins beat WWE's chosen one to grab gold once more. Now, WWE have a situation wherein each former member of The Shield looks as dangerous as the other, and that's a wonderful place to be in.

People know Reigns will always have another title run in him, but the fact is he was beaten fairly by Seth. Then, Ambrose capitalised on the Money In The Bank gimmick, cashing in to become the new champ.

By having Rollins pin Reigns, then Ambrose pin Rollins, the company have created a scenario that favours unpredictability. For those thinking Roman would hold the WWE Title for a long time after WrestleMania, that has to be good.
