The moment that changed everything
The moment that changed everything

At WrestleMania 31, Seth Rollins pulled off the heist of the century in front of over 75,000 fans. The unpredictability of wrestling is what makes it different and unique as compared to many other sports.

In 2014, Rollins won the Money in the Bank ladder match by retrieving the briefcase with the help of Kane. He held the briefcase for the entire year and waited for the right time to strike.

At WrestleMania 31, he took on Randy Orton in a single’s match which saw both men kick out of each other’s finishers at least once. Orton eventually won the match after a second RKO, which was given additional elevation as Orton countered Rollins' Curb Stomp by propelling Rollins up in the air. The RKO is rated as one of the best we’ve ever seen.

Even though Rollins lost at WrestleMania and believed the night was over for him, he barely knew what was waiting for him.

He was informed about his cash-in plans less than an hour before the main event which saw Brock Lesnar defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns. Rollins cashed in his briefcase at the right moment in the match, and the rest is history.
