5 Times the live audience made a WrestleMania match great

#1. Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar (vs. Seth Rollins) at WrestleMania 31

Seth Rollins cashing in Money in the Bank made the crowd explode at WrestleMania 31.

When Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar were scheduled for WrestleMania 31, the fan response felt pretty tepid. Reigns wasn’t yet over as a main event level star, and indeed a vocal percentage of fans booed him for feeling forced in the top guy role. While Lesnar was over as a monster heel, it didn’t exactly feel exciting to think of him retaining his WWE Championship at WrestleMania.

The match exceeded expectations as a fast-paced, hard-hitting brawl. Things went to the next level, however, when Seth Rollins’ music hit, and the reigning Mr. Money in the Bank stormed the ring.

Fans went ballistic at the reality of the first-ever Money in the Bank cash-in midway through a WrestleMania main event. The dream scenario took hold, and though Rollins was a heel, the sheer electricity of him cashing in under these circumstances made the match feel like an instant classic.
