The year 2015 could easily be regarded as the most successful year in Seth Rollins' WWE career so far. And it all began for The Architect at The Grandest Stage of Them All, at WrestleMania 31.

The WrestleMania 31 main event featured a clash of the titans between WWE Champion Brock Lesnar and challenger Roman Reigns. On paper, the match seemed evenly matched between the champion and challenger. However, the WWE Universe wasn't pleased with the push that was being given to Roman Reigns.

While both Lesnar and Reigns did a formidable job in the main event, Seth Rollins decided to turn the tide in his favor in the most unexpected of manners, when he interfered and cashed in his Money in the Bank contract.
Despite falling victim to one of the most gruesome RKOs in history from Randy Orton earlier in the night, Seth Rollins was keen on walking out of WrestleMania 31 with a win, even after suffering a loss to Orton. And that is exactly what he did, as Rollins' historic cash-in made him the first MITB holder to cash in the briefcase during a WrestleMania main event.
Multiple stomps to both Reigns and Lesnar later, and Rollins eventually pinned his former Shield stablemate to walk out with the WWE Championship. Heist of the century, indeed.
