On this day five years ago, Seth Rollins made history at WrestleMania 31 when he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract in the most dramatic way possible, getting himself involved in the main event between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns.

Rollins, who had lost to Randy Orton earlier that same night, became the first-ever superstar to cash in his MITB briefcase in a WrestleMania main event and after doing so, the former Architect of the Shield went on to pin Reigns, capturing the WWE Championship and creating history at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

With Seth Rollins celebrating the five-year anniversary of his Championship win from WM31, The Monday Night Messiah took to Twitter and honoured the moment which arguably will go down as one of the most memorable title victories of all-time.

Described by Michael Cole as the Heist of the Century, Rollins posted the exact same words on Twitter which were used by Cole seconds after he'd snatched the title from Lesnar.
