Seth Rollins, a former World Heavyweight Champion, openly expressed his strong dislike for WWE Money In The Bank matches during season 2 of WWE Unreal. While the Money In The Bank concept has been popular with fans since its 2005 debut, Rollins criticized the match type due to its complexity and the various risks involved, making it difficult for participants to enjoy.
Challenges and Risks Associated with Money In The Bank
Rollins explained that the match’s many moving parts contribute to his dislike.
“We have great producers, but I hate a Money In The Bank match. I hate them, as a participant, I hate them, cause it’s not just you, one other person and a referee. You’ve got all these ladders so you add in the element of extreme danger. Everybody’s got to be on point, the timing, everything from a safety standpoint, to a storytelling standpoint.”
This statement highlights the intense coordination and safety concerns required in such ladder matches.
Rollins’ Success Despite Displeasure with the Match Type
Despite his frustration, Rollins remains one of the most successful wrestlers in Money In The Bank history, having won the briefcase twice. He has cashed in on both occasions to capture world championship titles. The first was at WrestleMania 31, where he took advantage during the match between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. He repeated this success at SummerSlam after CM Punk defeated GUNTHER for the championship. Rollins, known as “The Visionary,” also admitted that his desire to maintain control during matches intensifies his frustration when matches, such as Money In The Bank 2025, deviate from planned outcomes.
Implications of Rollins’ Perspective on Future Matches
Rollins’ candid remarks reveal the pressures wrestlers face during high-stakes ladder matches and the mental strain that can accompany performing in these complex environments. His comments suggest that while fans enjoy the excitement and unpredictability of Money In The Bank, the wrestlers must manage significant challenges to maintain safety and storytelling quality. The tension Rollins feels may influence how he prepares for such matches in the future or how WWE approaches production to address these concerns.
