** Outside the show: Vic's confession and betrayal of Ronnie wasn't just shocking to viewers; it was such a shock to the dynamic of the show that there was almost nowhere to go afterward. The main driving force of the show - the Strike Team and their pursuits to get out of the hole they dug for themselves - was dead, and one could be forgiven for not being on Vic's side anymore after the confession. The show itself "glitched out" with what Vic did.

* Considering he wants to revenge on Rollins in the worst way possible, why doesn't Ambrose just wait until ''after'' Seth cashes in and then attack him or the champion, causing a DQ and costing Rollins his only "golden ticket" at a WWE World title?
** Speaking from a meta viewpoint, that's way too easy. The running plot with Ambrose stopping Rollins from cashing in at all is [[{{Irony}} much better for business;]] that being said, having Ambrose permanently cost Rollins the briefcase would be a great way to end the plot.
** Because it'll be that much more humiliating if, instead of being the third man to fail in his cash in attempt, Seth were to be the first man to never actually cash in the briefcase. On top of that, causing a DQ in the cash in means he gets to screw with Seth ''once'', constantly stopping him from handing the briefcase over means he gets to do it every week.
** Because Ambrose is GenreSavvy and knows that Wrestling/TheAuthority could simply [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem reverse the referee's decision]] if he did something like that - or better yet, be at ringside ''with'' Rollins to ensure such a thing doesn't happen.

* The fates of everyone even tangentially involved in Vic's immunity deal fall into this territory. The best case scenario for Vic is that he finishes out his immunity deal because Olivia couldn't get him to violate it. After that, he'll no doubt be fired and have nowhere to go in law enforcement. However, the press could get wind of the deal somehow and an epic shit storm could rain down on ICE and The Barn in the form of appealed convictions and public scrutiny. Hell, even if Olivia got Ronnie to privately tell her his story and they get Vic on something he forgot, this Press Armageddon could still happen when the news of Vic being charged breaks. Also, Olivia herself will probably be fired and blacklisted for making this deal happen in the first place, big bust or not.
