10 Surprising Last-Minute WWE WrestleMania Card Twists
1. The Heist Of The Century
No WrestleMania surprises list
would be complete without the best mid-match surprise in the event’s
history.
At WrestleMania 31, Brock Lesnar was defending his WWE Championship against the anointed hero Roman Reigns (remember those days, when the Big Dog was shoved down fans’ throats and they gagged?). But this clash would be upended when Seth Rollins raced down to ringside carrying his Money in the Bank briefcase.
No one had cashed in their MITB title shot mid-match, and no one had cashed in at WrestleMania, so why not have Rollins do both at the same time? Fans understandably lost their minds at the WM 31 main event being thrown into disarray suddenly.
The pure chaos of the moment alone was memorable, but at the time, it also raised alarm bells that this was how they were going to either have Reigns win the title or Brock retain it: through Rollins. But the Architect would deliver a stomp to Roman to capture his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship
