Seth Rollins's aforementioned WrestleMania 31 win over Brock Lesnar was dubbed by many the Heist of the Century.

It was an iconic moment as he finally cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and turned what was initially scheduled as a singles brawl between Roman Reigns and Lesnar into a Triple Threat match.

There were some close calls during the match that could have cost him the win, but Rollins’s quick thinking (and Roman Reigns's Spear) allowed him to get away from such predicaments.
