Person behind Seth Rollins' WrestleMania 31 cash-in revealed
Seth Rollins has revealed whose idea it was for him to cash in his Money in the Bank contract in the main event of WrestleMania 31.
Rollins won the MITB briefcase shortly after aligning himself with The Authority in 2014. He ultimately cashed it in at WrestleMania 31 during the main event match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. It ended up becoming a triple threat match, with Rollins pinning Reigns to become the new WWE Champion.
In an appearance on the My Love Letter to Wrestling podcast, Rollins revealed that it was he who came up with the idea of cashing in at WrestleMania 31. He discussed it with Cesaro, who was his travel partner at the time.
"I had the idea to do the cash-in a couple of months before WrestleMania. So probably January (2015), December (2014)," Rollins said. "I'm riding in the car with Cesaro, Claudio Castagnoli, and we're booking the territory as we do, and I've got these ideas and I'm running them by him. He's got his ideas, and we're just trying to come up with some stuff, and it seemed like a good idea, but I had to find the right time to put the bug in somebody's ear." (h/t Wrestling Inc.)
Seth Rollins also revealed that he was informed about his idea getting approved midway through WrestleMania 31. He had already lost to Randy Orton earlier in the event, so he was unsure until his entrance theme played that he would be winning the WWE Championship.
