Seth Rollins stunned WWE fans at SummerSlam 2025 by masterfully faking a knee injury before cashing in his Money in the Bank contract to defeat CM Punk and claim the World Heavyweight Championship. This event stands out as a defining career moment not only for Rollins but also for McKenzie Mitchell, who considers this SummerSlam appearance a significant highlight due to a personal connection involving her design work.
Rollins’ Money in the Bank cash-in marked the second time he successfully used the contract, having previously done so at WrestleMania 31, where he turned a Brock Lesnar versus Roman Reigns match into a triple threat. At SummerSlam, the surprise element and Rollins’ dramatic reveal became an iconic moment of the event, widely recognized by WWE fans and insiders alike.
McKenzie Mitchell’s Collaboration with Seth Rollins
Former WWE NXT backstage correspondent McKenzie Mitchell recently shared details of her unexpected involvement in Rollins’ SummerSlam appearance during an interview on Busted Open Radio. She explained how Rollins wore a necklace she designed during the event—a development that came as a complete surprise to her.
You’re seeing my designs on the likes of Trick Williams, Fallon Henley, Roxanne Perez, Seth Rollins, The moment at SummerSlam — I had no idea — him and then you see the briefcase, and you see this giant necklace piece on it—and it was a surprise to me.

Mitchell revealed her initial direct message to Rollins following WrestleMania, where she offered to create a custom piece for him. Rollins responded with full creative trust, allowing her to design jewelry that Rollins would confidently incorporate into his wrestling persona.
Beginning with a 20-inch gold necklace, they later created a longer 24-inch version, with the matte black design recently making its debut. This ongoing partnership represents a unique blending of fashion and wrestling identities.
So he actually had told my husband (Vic Joseph), he’s like, ‘This has become my new identity, and I never really thought that a necklace and an accessory would have paired so well with my career, but here we are.’
