On the May 23 episode of Raw, Ambrose defeated Dolph Ziggler to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match on June 19,[166] which he ended up winning.
Later that same night, he cashed-in his briefcase and quickly defeated long-time rival and former Shield stablemate Seth Rollins to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the first time; this was just after Rollins captured the world title from Roman Reigns.
After the number one contender's match between Rollins and Reigns ended in a double countout the next night on Raw, Shane McMahon announced a triple threat match for the title between Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns at Battleground.
Pro Wrestling Torch reported that WWE knew of a WWE's Wellness Program violation by Reigns before Money in the Bank, leading to Reigns being scripted to lose his world title at the event, and Reigns being suspended two days later on June 21.
