10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Money In The Bank
3. You Call That A Finish? - Part II (2015)
Maybe it's the fact that the Money in the Bank match itself always has a decisive winner than allows WWE's creative team to think they can get away with some exceedingly bad finishes in title matches on the show. Or maybe it's just ineptitude.
By Money in the Bank 2015, Seth Rollins was WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and he was already proving to be one of the worst-booked WWE Champions ever. After a terrible finish at Elimination Chamber 2015 where Dean Ambrose seemingly won the title from Rollins only to have it changed to a disqualification, a ladder rematch between the two was signed for Money in the Bank.
Ambrose and Rollins proceeded to have an excellent main event which, at nearly 36 minutes, was one of the longest singles matches in WWE PPV history. Both men fought around the ringside area, using tables, chairs, and even the barricade to their advantage.
Finally, they managed to fight their way up the ladder. Both men grabbed the title belt and pulled it down, falling to the match as they held it. When they collided with the ring, Ambrose lost his grip, giving Rollins one of the flukiest wins for a world champion in recent memory. At that point, it was painfully obvious WWE didn't want to push Rollins as a serious champion, and would rather have him look like a boob en route to remaining champion.
