With both Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar laid out on the mat, Rollins’ music hit as he made his way down to the ring.

He handed his briefcase to the referee to officially cash-in, thus making the Reigns vs. Lesnar match a Triple Threat for the title.

Lesnar caught Rollins in an F5 finisher, but Reigns came out of nowhere to spear Brock as Rollins landed on his feet.

With Reigns dazed, Rollins delivered the Curb Stomp to his former Shield partner and pinned him for the three-count to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion for the very first time in his career.
