Roman Reigns seemed set to win the Money in the Bank ladder match in 2015. At least, that's what the WWE Universe thought. However, WWE had other plans that took Reigns in an alternate direction.
During the high-stakes match in 2015, The Big Dog overpowered the likes of Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston, and Kane, among others. Fans believed they were about to see Reigns unhook the briefcase, but a surprising assault prevented the SmackDown star from securing the victory.
Bray Wyatt, currently absent from WWE TV, arrived in the ring and attacked Roman Reigns. The latter crashed to the floor, and Sheamus used this window of opportunity to climb the ladder and secure the MITB briefcase. The shocking angle kickstarted a rivalry between The Eater of Worlds and The Head of the Table.
