In 2015, the WWE management noticed something anomalous; Despite not having the 'main event' talent present, house shows featuring Dean Ambrose in the main event kept selling more tickets than those with higher tier wrestlers such as Roman Reigns.
Cash is king, and the WWE decided that Dean Ambrose, the man they had de-pushed into near-obscurity, was worthy of wearing the 'big belt.'
Dean won the Money in the Bank ladder match, then cashed in the same night to defeat his frenemy Seth Rollins, earning the richest prize in all of Sports Entertainment today.
During his victory speech, Dean was quick to point out that hard work eventually pays off, and no one works harder than Dean Ambrose.
