That makes sense given the current landscape. I get the impression from what I've heard recently that they're trying to make it sound like Brock is leaving with the belt? This is an attempt to heel him and get Reigns cheered (which is ridiculous at this point). They can go with Reigns winning the belt at SummerSlam, which will get booed, and then they can call the audible and have Braun cash in when it doesn't work and make it look like a master-plan.
This also explains why they tried to push Brock so hard as a heel that was leaving heading into Mania and pulled the plug on Reigns winning -- they didn't have the MITB fail-safe this time.
