Summary: Ambrose is the king of the WWE. This is my version of how MITB and RAW came to be.
Author's note: Reigns was guilty it's a fact. If you don't like people being mad at Reigns, you need a dose of reality.

Dean Ambrose and Renee Young entered the T-Mobile Arena for Money in the Bank 2016. They had signed a few autographs for the eager fans that had arrived early hoping to catch the wrestlers as they entered the arena. Since Renee had to be there extra early for the pre-show, the crowd was small.
"Dean," a voice greeted as they walked through backstage of the arena. They turned around and found Vince McMahon standing there. "I'm glad you're early. I want to talk to you about tonight. Come into my office." He said before walking away.
"I need to get ready for the panel Renee said, "good luck," she said and walked away.
Dean walked into Vince's office and found Hunter Hearst Helmsley in the office as well. "What did I do?" Dean asked.
"A lot," Hunter said handing him a sheet of paper. On it was the attendance records for the past couple of months. They looked good to him. He didn't understand the problem.
"I don't get it," Dean said handing him the paper back. "The numbers look good."
"These are the figures for the shows you headlined," Hunter said, "Dean these numbers are great. We want to reward you for all you have done since being brought up to the main roster. You have given every show 110%. Never had any injuries and worked with anyone we asked you to. Since the Shield broke up, you've been one of our most popular stars."
About time they realized that, Dean thought to himself.
"What Hunter is trying to say," Vince interjected, "you are winning tonight."
Dean stared at him in disbelief. He was getting the briefcase after all? It seemed like the writers kept changing their minds regarding who was winning. Last he heard it was going to be Chris Jericho.
"We'll have the ladder match then Rusev vs Titus, so that you can rest. You'll cash in right after Seth wins the title." Hunter said.
Dean was stunned. They didn't just mean he was winning the briefcase. He was winning the WWE World Heavyweight Title? The one they had him come so close to winning but he'd lose the match due to some reason. "I'm going to be champion?"
"I think you are overdue for a title run," Hunter said giving Vince a look. "Your schedule is going to change. You'll have to at times wrestle on both tours, but we think you can handle it."
"Yeah," Dean said coming back to reality. "It'll be like Indy wrestlers again."
"Just think," Vince said, "all three members of the Shield will be champion in one night."
"Roman's okay with this," Dean asked automatically thinking of his best friend and traveling partner since they were called up to the main roster.
Vince and Hunter exchanged uneasy looks. "It wasn't his decision," Vince said, "but he understands it's best for business."
"Look Dean," Hunter said, "Roman has some things he needs to take care of. Fans don't want him as champ but they want you. Just imagine the pop you'll get tonight. They know you live in Vegas. They'll want you to win. You'll be even more popular than you were before if that's even possible."
Dean grinned. "Thanks for the opportunity. I better get ready for tonight." He said leaving the office to find Roman.
