He says the fear is good and natural. It let&#8217;s you know your place in life. Reigns should have known his place, but he didn&#8217;t, so now he&#8217;s sitting at home breathing through his mouth. Dean Ambrose comes out to the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Ambrose says Reigns told him to tell Triple H that he&#8217;s coming for him. Triple H talks about Ambrose and Reign&#8217;s bromance and references the Oscars. Ambrose makes some movie-related jokes. Eventually he gets to the point. Ambrose asks Triple H who he did not want to win at Fastlane. Triple H says his question is irrelevant. He says it doesn&#8217;t matter because Ambrose was never a factor in the match. Ambrose gets in Triple H&#8217;s face. Triple H calls him crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Ambrose says Triple H is smart, smart enough to know he can&#8217;t beat Ambrose. Ambrose challenges Triple H for the title right now. Triple H says it doesn&#8217;t work that way, but he&#8217;ll think about. He&#8217;ll give him an answer before the end of RAW. But in the meantime, Ambrose will face Alberto Del Rio.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">** This could be an interesting development and a good way to maintain interest in the title while Reigns recovers, but I don&#8217;t see Ambrose winning the title.

They opened with a nice series of pinning combinations and attempts at their finishing holds, then gradually built up to a faster pace. They both looked like they were trying to prove a point by having a very competitive match, and they did. The finish was pretty well done for the outcome they needed.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">** I do think it&#8217;s interesting that NXT and the main roster have had two similar storylines going on in parallel for two different titles. Bayley versus Carmella was a little like Ambrose versus Reigns, and the finish to this match is similar to the Samoa Joe and Sami Zayn issues with their number one contender matches. **<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nBray Wyatt gives the definition of insanity.

He held his own and looked more serious, which is good.

She loves Shane, but she doesn&#8217;t respect him because he always stabs her in the back. He&#8217;s jealous of her. He won&#8217;t take over RAW because The Undertaker will dismember him.
