Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract at the end of WrestleMania 31 to win the WWE Championship, but did you know that the man himself is the person who came up with the idea?

The former Shield member said on E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness that he presented the idea to Triple H in late 2014 and suggested it to him again after WWE’s fans booed Roman Reigns’ 2015 Royal Rumble victory.

“I just wanted to remind him that I have this idea on the table. ‘I think it's a pretty good one and even if it's not the idea, it could easily be a contingency plan if the main event at WrestleMania doesn't come together the way you see it. Just keep it in the back of your head, you know?’” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]

Despite many fans’ disapproval of Reigns’ huge singles push, WWE stuck with the original plan for WrestleMania 31, and “The Big Dog” challenged Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship in the final match of the night.

Fortunately for Rollins, Triple H and the rest of WWE’s decision-makers must have liked his idea, as he was told during WrestleMania 31 that he was going to cash in his Money in the Bank contract to close the show.
