5. Sheamus Can't Be Beating Brock Lesnar...
...but he sure could mess around and kick Seth Rollins' head square off of his shoulders. This is a great thing, and we should want it to happen. Sheamus having the Money In The Bank briefcase could be WWE using the briefcase as a ratings ploy. Sheamus winning Money In The Bank on a Sunday night on PPV, and having social media explode because of the title switch could lead to an increased viewership for Raw. Note that I'm not saying that this is a smart idea, or even an idea that will work, but it's the only reason presenting itself at present as logical as to why he's in possession of the briefcase. Could Sheamus be the man who leaves SummerSlam as WWE Champion? Certainly. Brock's wrestling The Undertaker, but maybe the idea of doing the match as a three-way with Seth's championship on the line could work. Insert a spot into the match where Undertaker tombstones Seth, then after having Brock break up the pinfall, 'taker chokeslams Brock and himself through the mat (it's happened...), leaving an unconscious Rollins alone in the ring. As Rollins stumbles to his feet, out come Sheamus with the briefcase, one-two-three. Crazier has happened.
