5 Ups And 7 Downs From WWE Money In The Bank 2015

3. A Bold Move

When Sheamus returned the night after WrestleMania, he was more interesting than he had been in a couple years. After being a lukewarm face for some time, the Celtic Warrior returned with a new look and a new attitude. Booked properly, Sheamus could be a solid, brawling heel, exactly the kind of bad guy WWE has been lacking. In that regard, having him win the Money in the Bank match Sunday seems to make perfect sense. What better way to help Sheamus reach the next level as a heel than by having him hold the briefcase? On the other hand, it seemed like everything was aligned for Roman Reigns to finally ascend to the top, and winning MITB would have been a surefire way to accomplish that goal.By diverging from conventional wisdom, WWE is banking on Sheamus being the kind of heel who will torment whomever the WWE World Heavyweight Champion is rather than using the briefcase as a vehicle to elevate Reigns. It could likely pay dividends if Sheamus is booked properly. Otherwise, this could be a huge waste €“ almost as bad as bringing back the King of the Ring tournament to job out the new king.
