Seth Rollins wins men’s WWE Money in the Bank, Jacob Fatu turns against Solo Sikoa
Seth Rollins has won Money in the Bank for the second time.
The last two men remaining in the ring for the finish was Seth Rollins and LA Knight, who dragged Rollins off the ladder. Knight went to climb but Rollins attacked Knight and hit him with the curb stomp, giving him the path needed to climb the ladder and grab the briefcase.
Another story developed just prior to the finish. After Rollins enlisted the help of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, Jacob Fatu came out to even the odds for Solo Sikoa. As Sikoa looked to reach the briefcase, however, Fatu grabbed Solo’s knee to prevent him from winning. After declaring that he hated him, Fatu laid out Solo, ultimately slamming Sikoa through a ladder on the outside.
On SmackDown, Sikoa had made fun of Fatu behind his back. After Sikoa left it was revealed Fatu had heard everything, leading to further tension between Fatu and Sikoa that had been building for weeks.
This is the second time Rollins has won Money in the Bank. The first was in 2014, ultimately leading to his first World title win by cashing in during the WrestleMania 31 main event between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, turning the match into a triple threat. On that night, Rollins pinned Reigns to win the WWE Championship for the first time.
