Everybody knows that Seth Rollins is Mr. Money in the Bank, but what everybody doesn’t know is when Rollins will actually cash in the MITB briefcase. Well, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer speculates that WWE could be having Rollins win the championship in the very near future.

WWE’s plan could be to have Rollins cash in his briefcase on the winner of the John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar match. There’s speculation that because Brock Lesnar is likely leaving WWE after WrestleMania 31, WWE could have him drop that WWE championship to John Cena at the Royal Rumble event in January, which could lead to a Seth Rollins cash in immediately after the match.

The finish of the Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena match could see Cena winning, and Lesnar destroying Cena after the match, which would lead to Seth Rollins running down to the ring, and cashing in successfully on John Cena. Then, if Cena wants a rematch, it could lead to Rollins telling Cena that he’ll only give him a rematch for the title if Cena reinstates The Authority.

The John Cena vs. Seth Rollins rematch for the WWE championship would likely take place at WWE’s February pay-per-view, Fast Lane, with the winner defending the title against Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 31.

When WWE puts the championship on Roman Reigns, it’s likely that they won’t take it off of him for a long, long time. In fact, there is word that they may keep the title on Reigns longer than they kept the title on CM Punk. So, if Rollins is to cash in, and cash in successfully, he’ll do so before WrestleMania. If he doesn’t, then it’s very likely that he’ll cash in and fail.

There was a rumor that Seth Rollins would be cashing in his Money in the Bank contract during last week’s RAW, however, he ended up shaking hands with Paul Heyman instead, forming some kind of alliance between Rollins, Heyman and Lesnar that could come into play at some point in the near-future.

As of right now, WWE is considering a number of different things to do for the WrestleMania 31 main event. The most obvious idea that they’re considering is Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns, however, they’re also considering Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns, and John Cena vs. Roman Reigns.

One thing is for sure, and that’s that WWE is planning to have Roman Reigns walk out of WrestleMania as the new WWE champion, regardless of who his opponent is.
Take with a grain of salt as usual.

As for my own thoughts, I'd love if Rollins cashed in at the Rumble, don't want the contract to go the waste and I'd love to see a nice (even if short) heel run as World Champ from Rollins; through losing to Reigns at WM 31 wouldn't be my cup of tea either way.

Also, the idea of Reigns holding the title longer then Punk just makes me fpalm

This. Jesus Fucking Christ this company. Their complete and utter stupidity honestly feels like an attack on my soul. I'm actually starting to take it as a personal insult to my intelligence.

The only saving grace in all of this is that it WILL back fire on WWE and Reigns if he holds the title longer than Punk. Hell just winning at Mania could be a huge backfire from the crowd.

Well Randy Orton winning the Royal Rumble will be a pleasant surprise for most of you.. You naive people still think it will be Reigns, someone who hasn't done shit in WWE.. This report goes to show people only believe Reigns will win the Rumble because of the reports on the internet.

A few things.

1. Will anyone with the MITB *ever* cash in at WM? From a kayfabe standpoint, you'd think they'd want to. To steal the biggest spotlight possible. If Rollins cashes in on Cena with little effort, that really makes Sandow look like a piece of shit considering he beat Cena's ass for like 3 hours (lol) before going on to lose. Rollins cashing in on Reigns would make a lot of story sense. Ambrose took the Shield break hard, Reigns kinda just shrugged it off like it didn't matter. He needs something to REALLY piss him off about Rollins the same way Dean wants to strangle him on sight lol. Stealing his WWE title is a good start.

2. Of course WWE wants to erase the greatest accomplishment CM Punk ever did in that company. Reigns going on a year plus run with the strap sounds about as fun as diarrhea frosting on a birthday cake.

3. Reigns going on a title run that ridiculously long will not work unless he turns heel SOMEWHERE in the middle of it. Unless WWE *lurves* the split crowd reaction. Vince probably gets a boner and thinks Roman is the second coming of Cena. Roman would actually get more character development out of being a heel. Heel Reigns vs Face Ziggler would be money, BUT I'd hate fact Reigns would win.

4. If they're going this hard with Reigns, go ahead and turn Cena heel. Until that happens, Cena is still "the guy" despite him not holding the gold.

Underrated post...

Is Vince ready to have Cena play second fiddle for over a year? Otherwise it'd be pointless to have Reigns win and get a long ass title reign when Cena could potentially still main event.

They need to keep Seth as far away from Cena as possible if they want him to develop any sort of momentum or credibility again. It's been made clear that Rollins won't be allowed to look good against Cena EVER under any circumstances.

I've been saying it for awhile now, if Bryan is unavailable, the best option is:

RR: Brock beats Cena, possibly w/help from Rollins. Orton wins the Rumble later that night. Cena is later eliminated from the Rumble via Rusev.

FL: Cena vs. Rollins, where the stipulation is a Cena win nets him the briefcase, a Rollins win reinstates the Authority. Cena loses again via Rusev. Brock meanwhile defends against Ambrose, who loses due to Rollins interference again, setting up a match between the pair at WM.

WM: Cena vs. Rusev, Reigns vs. Triple H, Undertaker vs. Sting, Rollins vs. Ambrose, Orton vs. Lesnar. Reigns beats Triple H, Ambrose beats Rollins, and Orton beats Brock via punt of doom only to get cashed in on by Rollins a few seconds later.

This is the kind of thing that we all know is the way that things 'should' be booked but when you look at Reigns.. just not ready at all and he's not going to be no matter how the WWE pushes him. He's already getting mild reactions and forcing him down our throats... I mean, The Rock ended up fine in the end because they turned him and he was in an environment where that would work. Modern day WWE is just.. not.

I'm not saying the report isn't complete bullshit, it may or may not be; I am merely just reporting it to the WF for discussion purposes.

I have a few thoughts on this (likely) BS report.

1, I totally get the idea they've put out there win Cena bringing back The Authority, and it makes total sense based on Rollin's promos recently. But that throws up some issues that makes me call BS..
A, If Cena decided to bring back The Authority just to get a title shot he'd be seen as selfish, and it would be a heel thing to do so it just will not happen. Even though Cena would be the face and Rollins heel(and forget the fact that half the crowd hates Cena) the babyface would still come across as a heel for bringing them back.
B, If Cena lost the title he gets a rematch anyway, all champions have a rematch clause in WWE's world so why would Rollins be able to go against that?
C, Cena beating Lesnar and then losing the title takes so much away from Lesnar and what they've built him up to be. It would surely be better for Lesnar to beat Cena, get cashed in on and lose and then lose clean to someone at Mania, giving them a proper rub rather than giving it to Cena(who doesn't need it) and it would be lost in the shuffle anyway of the title getting switched. Just makes no sense.

2, Reigns having the title for longer than Punk is fucking ridiculous. They'd have to turn him heel because the fans would turn on him without doubt. The guy can't cut a fucking promo or have a decent 10 minute match.

3, Reigns vs Cena is intriguing as it would be a match i'd be marking for a John Cena win.

So when a guy like Punk, who is great in the ring and even greater on the mic struggles to keep a 434 day reign entertaining, the WWE is rumored to give an even longer reign to Roman Reigns? This is a guy who struggles to cut even a backstage promo, let alone alone a live main event caliber promo (think the 20 minute ones), and he cannot work a long-winded match unless it is with the best workers in the company. What the fuck kind of logic is this?

The fans are sure to turn on Reigns if he stays face the entire time and the entire roster is made to look shit in comparison (seriously, what will Ambrose, Ziggler, Wyatt, etc. do during this time to stay credible and fresh?). Maybe this is just me but I would prefer to avoid another 10 years of "Let's go Cena! Cena sucks!"-esque chants. If Reigns turns heel it defeats the purpose of elevating him as the next face of the company and we are yet again left with a stale Cena.

This is just too stupid for even WWE. Then again they have proven me wrong on that front again and again...

So are we to simply forget the first act of this grand tragedy called Brock Lesnar's WWE Championship reign? WWE burned Undertaker's Streak for it. Are they seriously going to, via osmosis, transfer Taker's Streak to Cena? Because that is what they would be doing if Cena wins at The Royal Rumble. What an asinine idea. No doubt WWE is considering it because they have no idea what they are doing but I am quite positive that Plan A at this point has to be Reigns wins the Rumble, Lesnar remains champion going into WrestleMania, Lesnar puts Reigns over in the main event of WrestleMania for the championship.

Lesnar is probably gone the minute WrestleMania ends so they're never going to have the chance to run Reigns/Lesnar again in all likelihood. Reigns/Cena can wait a year or however long it needs to wait. Rushing toward that would be silly.

As for the stupid fucking Money in the Bank contract, well, this is a good reason for disbanding it. It does next to nothing to actually elevate anybody, and in recent cases has turned into a kind of burden. Either they have to book a successful cash-in (and in this instance it's a cowardly heel holding it so a successful cash-in will at some point make sense since he's going to employ shoddy, unethical methods in attaining the gold, no matter how many times Dean Ambrose attempts to interfere, ha) or they risk doing more damage to the very "Mr. Money in the Bank" than good, as has already been the case in the past.

As for Reigns and the superman push, yeah, it's dull as dishwater but the way I see it, a good way of looking at it from this point forward should be "one for us, one for Vince." The fans finally, belatedly, received what they wanted in the form of Daniel Bryan's compelling, decisive and vigorous ascendancy last WrestleMania season, in spite of WWE's best-laid fuck-ups. WWE at the present moment needs new genuine stars in the worst way and if that means taking a Roman Reigns and forcing the audience to, at the very least, accept him as something of a star, then so be it. Perhaps next year fans can get Dean Ambrose or Seth Rollins or what have you.

Well if Reigns is having a longer reign than Punk, so goodbye to the title's remaining legitimacy!
the reason I am saying that is:

1- Reigns cannot put on a decent match longer than 3 minutes.
2- Pushed too fast.
3- Face reign of that long is going to suffocating.
4- The crowd will catch on to what Vince is trying to do(which is to eviscerate Punk's memory) and in that case, Reigns will get booed harder. And marks or not, there is alot of crowd support for Punk, many of them genuine!

Didn't this inquistr site say he was going to cash in last week? lol.

And there is ZERO chance Reigns holds the title for more than 434 days. ZERO.

Rollins vs Reigns: Doesn't even sound like a WM main event. There must be a top draw in the title picture.

Cena vs Reigns: It's to soon to take place. The way they are doing things this match could repeat itself around 50 times.

Lesnar vs Reigns: Is the way to go. It's Lesnar's last match and having someone beat the guy who broke the streak and crushed Cena would be epic. And this would be a truly "Once in a lifetime" match.
