10 Greatest Ultimate Opportunists In WWE History
4. Seth Rollins
For months, Seth Rollins carried the Money in the Bank briefcase, touting his role as the chosen one of The Authority. Fans waited each and every week, anticipating the moment he rose to the top of the industry by sneakily picking his moment and cashing in to become world champion. By the time WrestleMania 31 rolled around, some 10 months after he first grabbed hold of the briefcase, it appeared as though he would never actually cash in.
Then it happened.
In the main event of the biggest show of the year, a heavyweight war between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, Rollins rushed the ring and handed over the briefcase to the official. Instantly, the match became a Triple Threat bout. Moments later, he delivered a Curb Stomp to Reigns and became world champion.
That moment set up months of television dominated by Rollins. He would become the star the show was built around. Whether he was at odds with The Authority or his former Shield brethren, he was WWE's Most Valuable Player, all because he seized an opportunity.
