My big emotional gripe is that it leaves Ambrose in the dark. I don't know if I'm being too attached, but I just feel that he should have some presence in whatever it is Reigns and Rollins do together, if it is, in fact, together. I guess Ambrose could get more shine elsewhere on the card and could potentially ride it to challenge or turn heel...but eh. I think I'm just on board with Ambrose vs. Rollins vs. Reigns too much.

My idea for Ambrose on the card was for them to slowly keep building the tension with Jericho that started at Night of Champions. Jericho tries to help Ambrose against The Wyatts again but this time, he walks out. He refuses to explain his actions and just leaves again for a month or so. Eventually he returns around Rumble time to cost Ambrose in a title match. When approached by Renee backstage to explain his actions, he finally says he'll do it on his time and books Ambrose on The Highlight Reel.
That's when he explains his actions face to face to Ambrose...
"The reason I've done the things I've done to you... is because I respect you. You've got an old soul. One that would have fit in quite well in this business when I was coming up. When it was full of men scratching and clawing their way past each other. But when I look at those guys backstage... they're soft. They're too busy playing video games to take that brass ring. Giving you all the opportunity in the world to leave them in your wake on the way to the top. But instead, you let them bring you down to their level. You became weak.
I could have just accepted your offer and helped you against The Wyatts. But where would that leave you? I won't be around forever. And you'd be left weak and fragile. And I respect you too much to watch that happen. So I had to leave you to the wolves. It was the only way. If this new generation is to thrive, it doesn't need another passive, weak gaming nerd who comes begging for help when the odds are against him. It needs another Chris Jericho."
When Ambrose goes to respond, Jericho decks him and proceeds to lay a beating on him that borders on non-PG. Maybe even throw him through the Jeri-tron ala HBK or something. Ambrose has to take a couple weeks off but through a in interview with Cole via satellite makes it clear that he'll be ready for WrestleMania. He does a little defense for "his generation" and tells Jericho that at WrestleMania, he's not gonna prove he's the new Chris Jericho. He's gonna prove something much more scary. That he's the first Dean Ambrose.
From there, the drama mostly just builds over the next month or two via promos/hype videos and Jericho using other guys to send a message to Ambrose. Everytime Ambrose tries to get at him though, Triple H is sure to send tons of security to stop him since he's not cleared for action until WrestleMania and he doesn't want WWE to be held accountable for what might happen to him.
I know Ambrose getting his hands on Jericho the very next week and the two of them trading wins back and forth through a variety of tag matches in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania would be the genius way to go for SOME people here, I feel like my idea is a better way to build heat/anticipation for the match. I DUNNO THO.
