3 reasons why Seth Rollins can win the WWE Money in the Bank ladder match
Image via WWE Seth Rollins could be the one to grab the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase this year. WWE is moving fast-paced towards its next Premium Live Event, Money in the Bank. The event will be taking place on June 7th at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. The signature of the event, much like every year, will be the namesake ladder matches with a World Championship opportunity hanging above the ring. On the men's side, so far, Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta and Seth "Freakin" Rollins have qualified for the Money in the Bank ladder match. Out of the current field and looking at recent events, it seems that luck can favor Rollins this year to win the bout. Here are three reasons why The Visionary has a higher chance of becoming Mr Money in the Bank at the PLE: 3. The Paul Heyman Guys can become a huge asset for his win — SASportWWE (@SASportWWE) Seth Rollins is leading the charge of a formidable faction ever since he brought Paul Heyman to his side at WrestleMania 41. First, he added Bron Breakker, and recently, his old rival, Bronson Reed, joined them. They could be a huge asset in his Money in the Bank win. With two spots remaining in the match, maybe one or both of Rollins' cohorts can win the qualifiers to be in the match and help Rollins get an easy win in the ladder bout. 2. Past experience with Money in the Bank Seth Rollins ascended to the main event with the Money in the Bank briefcase. He won the ladder match with the help of The Authority in 2014 and cashed it in memorable fashion in the main event of WrestleMania 31 to win his first World title. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning For Working Professionals.

Easy opportunity to win the World Championship and take over RAW Upon the formation of his new unit, Paul Heyman made it known that it was important that Seth Rollins should become the World Champion. He was close to getting it done on RAW until CM Punk returned to spoil his win. However, with The Visionary qualifying for the Money in the Bank ladder match, the golden briefcase could be the easy route for Rollins to succeed in his plan of becoming the champion and take over the Monday Night RAW landscape completely.

Who is Rusev's wife? Marriage life details you need to know about the former WWE US Champion
WWE fans were thrilled to see the return of Rusev, a dominant force in the ring - on the latest episode of RAW after WrestleMania 41. But while his in-ring comeback made headlines, it also renewed interest in his personal life, especially his high-profile relationship with former WWE star Lana, real name CJ Perry. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now So who exactly is Rusev's wife? And what is the story behind their relationship? Here's everything you need to know about the former United States Champion's marriage, split, and recent update. From on-screen pairing to real-life marriage Rusev and Lana's story began in WWE's developmental territory NXT, where Lana was introduced as Rusev's manager and social ambassador. Their chemistry quickly clicked, and the duo transitioned to WWE's main roster during the 2014 Royal Rumble. Together, they portrayed a controversial 'anti-American' heel couple, drawing significant attention and heat from fans. But behind the storyline, their real-life romance was blossoming. Despite scripted breakups on-screen (involving love triangles with Dolph Ziggler, Summer Rae, and Bobby Lashley), the couple announced their engagement in 2015 and tied the knot in real life on July 29, 2016. Over the years, their WWE storylines mirrored chaos in real life. After Rusev lost his momentum following a defeat to John Cena at WrestleMania 31, tensions reportedly grew behind the scenes. Lana's storyline relationships and accusations, including a bizarre angle claiming Rusev was a 'sex addict' - only added to the drama. In 2020, Rusev was released from WWE as part of budget cuts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lana was let go in 2021. Rusev moved to AEW under the ring name 'Miro,' while Lana took a break before joining AEW in 2023. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, by this point, their marriage had already hit a rough patch. Separation and rumors of a rekindled bond In March 2024, TMZ confirmed that Miro and CJ Perry had officially separated after seven years of marriage. Lana shared that the decision was mutual and rooted in them growing apart, not infidelity or abuse. The former couple promised to remain friends and even hinted at future onscreen collaboration. However, in an unexpected twist, reports in March 2025 suggested the two had rekindled their relationship and renewed their vows in a private ceremony. While neither has officially confirmed the remarriage, fans have noted their increasing public appearances together - including at backstage segments during WrestleMania weekend. With Rusev now back in WWE and Lana reportedly signing a Legends deal with the company, the power couple could once again become a staple of WWE programming. Whether it's ringside antics or storyline partnerships, fans are excited to see what's next for the Bulgarian Brute - and the woman who's been by his side through it all.

Deja vu: Seth Rollins steals show at WrestleMania 41 with another signature moment
Deja vu: Seth Rollins steals show at WrestleMania 41 with another signature moment Show Caption Hide Caption Damian Priest explains how Bad Bunny took WWE training seriously Damian Priest recalls how Bad Bunny took his WWE appearance seriously and how he raised the bar for other celebrity cameos. LAS VEGAS — Ahead of WrestleMania 41, Paul Heyman was asked by USA TODAY Sports who needed to win the triple threat match between Roman Reigns, CM Punk and Seth Rollins in the main event of night one. The WWE Hall of Famer said he could go in front of the Supreme Court and spend hours advocating why each star should win. It was easy – and it makes sense – for him to make a case for the two stars he's represented in his career. He said it would be unfathomable for Reigns not to win, and he could say with 100% certainty Punk needed to be victorious. And then there was Rollins. Even though he hadn't been his advocate, Heyman said Rollins would need a victory "or everything falls apart." What is everything? We found out on WrestleMania 41 night one. WrestleMania 41: Five takeaways from shocking Night 1 for WWE It was as shocking as a WrestleMania moment can get Saturday night inside Allegiant Stadium; Heyman – advocating for Punk over Reigns – not only turned on Punk, but turned on the "Tribal Chief" in the process. Rollins didn't even need to look at what unfolded to know the plan had been executed: he put his hand out and Heyman gave him the steel chair en route to the main event victory. Stunning for sure, but it shouldn't be a surprise to see Rollins become the big star at WrestleMania. In 2015, Rollins created the most memorable moments in WWE history at WrestleMania 31 when he pulled off the "Heist of the Century," cashing in his Money in the Bank contract to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Flash forward 10 years later, and Rollins is still doing the same on WWE's grandest stage. "Seth did become a highlight, right?" said WWE chief content officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque. "That's long deep into his career, to still have that fire to go that next level, to get there and have that connection with people, that's impressive to me." What transpired is really a punishment for fans seemingly dismissing Rollins in the triple threat match. Yes, it was a bout with plenty of history, but it was expected either Reigns or Punk was going to leave victorious given their stature. Rollins was just seen as someone that could tie all of it together. It felt somewhat reminiscent of WrestleMania 40. Going into the tag team match with Cody Rhodes against Reigns and The Rock last year, he was just seen as someone who could connect the rivalry. Nothing more, nothing less. Instead, Rollins played a critical role in the event, essentially costing Reigns his title to allow Rhodes to become the new champion. Even more, he did it with a critical knee injury. The performance was so outstanding, The Rock declared Rollins the true MVP of WrestleMania, even when he went 0-2 and took a chair shot to the back. People needed a reminder of how magnificent the Rollins character is. He's always going to give a great performance in the ring, but it's his ability to draw such dramatic reactions that elevates him to a different level. Rollins is a man of many names and looks. His flashy outfits and ability to get in people's heads with his eccentric personality is what makes him such a popular star. But underneath all of the flamboyant costumes and orchestrating the crowd to sing his music, people cannot forget he's a visionary. He's always looking forward, trying to do, in his eyes, what's right for business. Sometimes it looks good, sometimes it looks bad. Regardless of right and wrong, Rollins has the ability to change the entire course of WWE in an instant. At WrestleMania 41, he had a vision of what could happen if he emerged victorious in Saturday night's main event. And as he and Heyman smiled on the stage while Reigns and Punk looked in disbelief, Rollins knew he not only altered the careers of three prominent stars, but turned the rest of WWE on its head. Heyman summed up the perception of Rollins perfectly prior to WrestleMania: "he has been the straw that stirs the drink in this entire scenario." It's something he's always done and excelled at. At WrestleMania 41, he didn't just stir the drink. He smashed the cup it was in, and best believe he'll continue to do it.
