Personal pride. Ambrose and Reigns were at each other's throats during the dying days of The Shield. It was a large part of why Seth Rollins turning heel made sense -- he was sick of holding that unit together
and he wanted a World Title future for himself.
But on a more immediate level, you could have set this up very easily in the Royal Rumble. Seth Rollins would lose the Triple Threat, but then be entered into the Rumble, because he's The Authority's guy and they were holding a space open for him anyway. Rollins looks incredible, despite his earlier wars (he's a top star, after all), but he eventually gets clotheslined out by Reigns. Rollins just stares back from the floor, as Reigns perhaps gives Rollins a wink or a mock Shield fist-bump. Instead of going to the back, Rollins grabs the leg of Reigns, who is then dumped out by Ambrose -- who gets the elimination unknowingly with the assist of the man on this planet he hates the most.
At Fastlane, to blow off the Orton vs. Rollins drama, you have them face-off in a match. Orton can even win that when he hits an RKO off a springboard attempt from Rollins, or something equally awesome. Rollins has been so well protected at this point. Reigns & Ambrose can be forced into a tag team match against two of The Authority's stooges. Maybe Big Show & Kane? Ambrose and Reigns can win after Ambrose gets the pin after a Reigns Spear, and Ambrose has blind-tagged himself in.
Simple, time-tested stuff.
