Seth Rollins is set to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank.
Rollins will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor.
Below is an excerpt from Mike Tedesco’s WWE Raw recap of how the championship match came together.
…Rollins cackles at Bálor, and the crowd cheers. Rollins says Kansas is too kind, but he’s not laughing because they sang Bálor’s promo out of the building. Rollins says he’s laughing because this is the Finn Bálor he’s been waiting to see for seven years. The inaugural Universal Championship match at SummerSlam in Brooklyn sent them on different career paths. One of them got bitter, and one of them got better. Rollins says he’s done some bad things over the past seven years. He’s also made memories, history, and moments that these people will never forget. Rollins did that because he changed, adapted, rolled with the punches, and got better every single day. Now he is the greatest version of Seth “Freakin” Rollins. The proof is in the World Heavyweight Championship. If Bálor wants a crack at it at Money in the Bank, Bálor is on.
Rollins looks at Bálor as the crowd starts to sing again. Rollins has to know which version of Bálor is coming to London to fight for the title. This bitter shell of a champion doesn’t stand a chance… but the Finn Bálor that beat him to become the first-ever Universal Champion with his arm hanging off his body, he’s got a shot. Rollins asks if Bálor is going to bring that Finn Bálor to Money in the Bank, or is he going to bring the guy that’s been walking around for the past seven years acting like a little bitch. Rollins laughs and walks off as the crowd reacts big!
