The WWE World Heavyweight title changed hands twice at SummerSlam after Seth Rollins cashed in his Money In The Bank briefcase, keeping his promise of never letting CM Punk hold the world title in WWE.
Punk won the title first, pinning Gunther following two GTS finishers. Punk was exhausted and emotional after the match, holding his first WWE title in over a decade.
But then…”BURN IT DOOOOOWN!”
Seth Rollins walked out on crutches with Paul Heyman by his side, holding the Money In The Bank briefcase. Rollins pretended to play mind games with Punk and then turned around to walk to the back.
But as the camera moved in to follow Rollins, he stopped and dropped the two crutches to his side. He slowly turned around, removed his knee brace, grabbed the briefcase from Heyman, and ran down to the ring for another “heist of the century” moment.
Punk went on the attack but quickly found himself on the defensive as Rollins hit him with the briefcase multiple times. Punk cashed in the briefcase and then hit the stomp on the new champion and covered him for the one, two, three.
Rollins, who faked his injury since Saturday Night’s Main Event, then celebrated with Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman as fireworks went off.
