You don’t have to go back far in time for the most notable impromptu match in WrestleMania history.

At WrestleMania 31, Brock Lesnar was defending his WWE Championship against the anointed hero Roman Reigns (sound familiar?). However, this battle, which was full of energy and anger, would be jumbled when Seth Rollins sprinted to ringside, Money in the Bank briefcase in hand.

Rollins cashed in, turning the one-on-one match into a triple threat, essentially making it a new bout. A few minutes later, the Architect pinned Roman to win his first world title. It marked the first and only time a MITB briefcase was cashed in at WrestleMania.

Fans loved the moment, which kicked off a seven-month reigns for Rollins and also marked the first time Roman had a mega-push short-circuited on him.
