8 Moments That Led Seth Rollins To WWE 2K18 Cover Star
3. WWE Champion
The greatest ending in WrestleMania history occurred in 2015 when Rollins interrupted the main event pitting Roman Reigns against WWE champion Brock Lesnar and cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase, turning the formerly one-on-one war of attrition into a Triple Threat match.
Nearly obliterated by Lesnar's F-5, a devastating maneuver he experienced just two months earlier at the Royal Rumble, he capitalized on a perfectly timed spear by Reigns and delivered his vaunted (now banned) Curb Stomp to The Big Dog and collected his first WWE title.
The sight of Rollins standing at the top of the WrestleMania stage, the top prize in wrestling raised high overhead while pyro exploded around the top of Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, is the type of moment fans expect from the most prestigious event in sports entertainment.
For Rollins, it signaled the climax of a year's worth of hard work and dedication to get himself over to the extent that fans would react the way they did to his magical moment. It was stamp of approval by management and a career-defining moment the likes of which many never achieve.
Most of all, it solidified him as one of the faces of WWE and a Superstar around whom WWE Creative would feel comfortable building entire shows.
