Now with Ambrose out, can legit see them keep the IC belt on Reigns till Mania. Gets rid of any need for Reigns to win the Rumble to face Lesnar and avoid any cheap/bad losses deflating his momentum going into Mania. Reigns can drop the IC belt after Mania without taking any real hit to his now coronated mega stardom.
Has Ambrose not been hurt, the other rumor was for him to turn heel on the Shield and take the IC belt from Reigns. Would not be a cheap/bad loss for Reigns and repeat the first breakup but now with Rollins defending the Shield's honor. Also frees up Reigns to go off on his own way for the Lesnar feud.
