When Seth Rollins defeated John Cena at SummerSlam 2015, he made history - he became the first man to hold the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and the United States Championship simultaneously. In honour of his accomplishment, a proud Authority had a life-sized bronze statue of Rollins commissioned.

When the statue was unveiled on Raw, though, Rollins got a huge surprise - the blanket was pulled off of the sculpture to reveal Sting! "The Vigilante" attacked a shocked Rollins, cementing himself as the number one contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Title.

Still, there was one outstanding matter - Sting had the champion's statue. Rollins demanded it back, but to no avail. Two weeks after the unveiling, Rollins was still after his statue, but Sting wouldn't comply. He threw the statue in a garbage truck, then let the truck crush it.

Needless to say, Rollins was aghast. The statue he had earned was destroyed before it could even be properly displayed. It wasn't the last he'd see of the piece, though - Director of Operations Kane managed to salvage the head, presenting it to Rollins as a "gift".
