The end of RAW saw Rollins walk out with the title, but WWE continued to cover the events of tonight’s show of WWE Network. Shane McMahon reversed the decision, meaning Dean Ambrose would remain champion and still head into WWE Battleground as WWE Champion. The official explanation given was since both men’s shoulder’s were down for the count, Ambrose remained champion due to a draw.
