Dirty Deeds To Rollins

Roman Reigns is a three-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but exactly none of his stints with the gold have had any real length. The latest fell victim to the return of Seth Rollins from injury, the over-riding story being fleshed out (crudely, it has to be said) with the idea that Seth had come to reclaim a crown he never lost.

The build up did leave a lot to be desired, but at least Rollins vs. Reigns delivered inside the ring at Money In The Bank. Both guys looked motivated to put on a show, something that's hardly surprising given their very real kinship behind the scenes.

One of the more shocking moments on the pay-per-view came when Rollins pinned Reigns to capture the WWE Title. Fans erupted out of their seats, welcoming the decision with a fervour that really proves just how disliked Roman is. Maybe now WWE will stop banging their heads against a brick wall and turn him heel.

Seth Rollins winning the WWE World Heavyweight Title was an excellent moment, but it was not to be the last at Money In The Bank.
