So, I guess the one question you guys are asking is why this is the match at Money In The Bank?

I mean Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles is a match that is big enough for SummerSlam or even WrestleMania.

I think that if the match does happen, it will ignite a feud that goes all the way to SummerSlam 2019. You don't just book these two men in a feud and have one match between them at a non-major pay-per-view.

Expect them to tell a long-term story of two men who came up through the independents and are fighting for the biggest prize in the business, having followed a similar path. As I have mentioned before, expect one of the men to go heel at one point during the feud as well.

We are in for some very exciting times as fans.
