5. Mr. Money In The Bank

Firmly established as the future of WWE, his relationship with The Authority catapulting him to the top of the card, Rollins collected his biggest win to date at the 2014 Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

Faced with the challenge of Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam, Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose, Rollins capitalized on perfectly timed interference from Director of Operations Kane and retrieved the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase.

A WWE Championship opportunity in his grasps, Rollins further confirmed the suspicions of fans that he was being poised for a legitimate main event run as the top villain in wrestling's most storied company.

Furthermore, the briefcase lent Rollins credibility he needed. While his relationship with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon ensured him a certain spot on the card, he had yet to score that one definitive victory that announced to the world that the company was 100-percent committed to him as a standard-bearer for WWE's next generation of Superstars.

That all changed that red-hot night inside the historic TD Garden in Boston.
