Dean Ambrose is one of seven men that will participate in a Money in the Bank Ladder Match this Sunday with a contract for a WWE Championship shot within the next year up for grabs, and the former Shield member spoke about the match and other topics recently.

WWE Furious Over SummerSlam Main Event Plans Leaking

Ambrose spoke with RVAMag.com and shared his thoughts on the legitimate long-term health risks Ladder Matches have put on guys such as Matt Hardy and Edge in the past and whether or not he's concerned about lingering issues coming after the match.

"You know, it's one of those things where a lot is at stake and you might have to take a big risk to get up that ladder," Ambrose told the site. "There's a lot in play. Lots of metal, high heights and a lot of players in the game. It's a very unpredictable situation. You just have to go into with no fear and no reservations. You just have to go for it. You got to pick your spots and be smart though."

Ambrose said seeing the crowd go wild is enough motivation as he prepares to battle Seth Rollins, Rob Van Dam, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston and Bad News Barrett, if his shoulder injury allows him to partake on Sunday.

"Once you're in front of that crowd, those lights go up, you see the briefcase hanging, and you feel the adrenaline; all your fears disappear," Ambrose said. "If you have fears in your head, that's when you're going to get hurt. You got to let that stuff leave your head, otherwise it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. You can be smart, but just don't hesitate."

Ambrose spoke about being surprised coming to Monday Night RAW and learning the plans for The Shield would break up earlier this month when Rollins turned heel, but he said all three will strive to be great individually.

"We're all still three of the best performers in the company and are still always going to carry that mindset and that work ethic and be that symbol of excellence," Ambrose said. "That becomes part of your psyche and you want to go out there every night, bust your ass, put on the best show possible, and refuse to be out-done by anyone. You're still going to see that from us. You won't see us working together in the classic Shield way, but all three of us with all of our egos and aspirations and desire are still going to be on your TV making our way up top. It's an exciting time for the fans."

Ambrose also said that out of all the people he travels with, he is closest with Roman Reigns.

"He's still my best friend, my buddy, and travelling partner," he said. "Me and Roman are tight....We're brothers and push each other and still got each other's back. For Roman, he's a super-charismatic, loveable, soulful guy that can be a beacon for everyone in the locker room which I think is just really good right now."

Ambrose and six other men will clash in what should be an entertaining Ladder Match this Sunday night at Money in the Bank live from the TD Garden in Boston.
