Dean Ambrose looked around the ring at his five opponents in the briefcase Money in the Bank ladder match. They were all down. The Authority had opted not to replace the injured seventh participant, Wade Barrett. He set up the ladder and started to climb. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his former teammate, Seth Rollins, standing up and watching him. He continued to climb.

"What is going on?" John Bradshaw Layfield asked. "Seth Rollins is just standing there! He's not moving to stop Dean Ambrose!"

Rob Van Dam was back on his feet. Seth hit him with a Curb Stomp to put him back down."

The fans were on their feet watching as Dean reached the top of the ladder and unhooked the gold briefcase. He climbed down and stood staring at Seth who was just standing there.

Seth walked over to Dean and pulled him into a hug.

"What?" Jerry 'The King' Lawler asked not believing what he was seeing.

"A few weeks ago, Seth Rollins attacked his teammates and joined Evolution! Now they are celebrating Dean Ambrose winning Money in the Bank?" Michael Cole asked also not believing it.

King of Kings started playing over the loudspeakers of the TD Garden in Boston Massachusetts. The COO, Triple H, and his wife Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley appeared on the stage. Neither of them looked pleased.

Seth grabbed a mic and turned to face the duo. "You said you had a plan b," he reminded Hunter, "well this is the Shield's plan a. Did you really think I was joining Evolution? We beat you twice."

Triple H and Stephanie were seething at the top of the ramp. Triple H had thought recruiting Seth Rollins to Evolution was best for business and new he realized Seth had outsmarted him. Seth had been the one to ask him to put Dean into the match saying he could control him and wanted him where he could see him at all times and he had fallen for it. He glowered as Dean threw an arm over Seth's shoulder.

"I always have another plan. The game is not over. You may have won this round but in the end I always win." He said before walking away. Stephanie followed behind him.

Dean and Seth continued their celebration not knowing that Hunter had something far more devious planned for the lunatic fringe. It was something that had been Seth's idea. They might have fooled him tonight, but he would get the last laugh.

Notes: I have been playing with this idea ever since Seth said something doing commentary and RAW sparked the idea. I know I need to stop beginning fics and finish them.
