Ambrose chooses loyalty over a title shot
At the top of "Raw," Dean Ambrose was confronted by "Raw" head honcho Baron Corbin. He gave Ambrose three match options: a title shot vs Reigns, a title shot vs Rollins, or a match with Braun Strowman. Ambrose tried to choose option No. 4 - a match with Corbin, but instead was booked to take on Braun. The match saw the big man dominate, with Reigns rushing in to cause a DQ in an attempt to save his Shield buddy.

Reigns battles Ziggler
Each of Ambrose's Shield brothers squared off against individuals involved in their upcoming six-man tag team match at Super Show-Down. Reigns took on one half of the tag team champs in Dolph Ziggler. As expected, the Universal Champion was able to get the win. He hit one spear late for a near fall, with Ziggler getting a roll up for a near fall of his own. Moments later, Reigns connects with a second spear to put Ziggler down for the pinfall.
