It wasn't hard to see that fans were rebelling against Roman Reigns as a babyface headliner in 2015. Boos would ring out any time Roman hit the ring, and Seth looked on curiously from behind the curtain. That's when he started visualising one of his biggest moments. That's when he pitched the idea of cashing in MITB at 'Mania 31.

WWE loved it.

Rollins shared his thoughts with Triple H privately, and said it might be cool if he pulled the rug out from underneath Roman and gave him a reason to earn fan respect. 'The Game' liked what he was hearing, pitched it to Vince and things moved quickly from that point.

Even more amazingly, Seth had actually thought about pitching a MITB cash in at WrestleMania before Reigns won the 2015 Royal Rumble. He's glad he sat on that one, in retrospect, because doing it to an old Shield buddy made the moment bigger.
