Sheamus wins MITB

Sheamus was not an expected winner of the Money in the Bank ladder match in 2015.

Entering the Money in the Bank ladder match in 2015, Roman Reigns seemed like the favorite out of the field of six men – Reigns, Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston, Kane, Neville, Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus. Orton, due to an extended feud with the Authority and champion Seth Rollins, also seemed likely, along with Kane or even Ziggler.

But Sheamus was almost an afterthought. He hadn’t really been involved in anything meaningful for a while other than being a bully to smaller wrestlers, and he didn’t really seem to fit in the story as the holder of the briefcase. Yet after Bray Wyatt cost Reigns the match, Sheamus went on to scale the ladder, get the contract and would later beat Reigns for the world title.
