After that breathless evening, it sort of went downhill for Ambrose. The Shield triple threat that followed was great but from there he went to SmackDown Live and feuded with Dolph Ziggler. The rivalry was greatly overshadowed by Finn Balor and Seth's title squabble on Raw and led to fans losing interest in The Lunatic's title run.
