At WWE “Money in the Bank” on June 14 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Sheamus made history by winning the first Money in the Bank briefcase of his career, giving him an opportunity at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship whenever he desires.
It appeared as if Roman Reigns was set to pull down the briefcase, but a returning Bray Wyatt saw to it that the former Shield enforcer didn’t emerge victorious.
The following are reactions from Twitter concerning Sheamus’ big win:

It’s like 15 minutes later and I still can’t think of anything to type about the ladder match besides, “Sheamus?” #MITB

“I don’t like Roman Reigns and I don’t want him to win the MITB.” *Sheamus wins MITB.* “I WOULD RATHER REIGNS WIN THAN SHEAMUS” #MITB2015

You know I am going to come out and say it… Sheamus is a worse choice to get a Main Event push than Roman Reigns.

OK with Sheamus winning MITB. Not so sure Wyatt is right opponent for Reigns at this stage of the rebuilding process.

#MITB has @WWESheamus winning @WWENeville shining, @WWERomanReigns featured @RandyOrton w/ move of match..minutes maximized. #MITB @WWE

That #MITB match was so bizarre. Don’t get Sheamus winning and have no interest whatsoever in Reigns vs Wyatt. Terrible decisions.

The MitB mythology needs more guys to fail at the cash-in. Sheamus is a guy who can take that loss w/o it seriously damaging his credibility

If Sheamus won #MITB ast year or the year before, I would’ve hated it, but as a heel, the dude is MONEY. Loving his current run. Congrats.

Maybe Sheamus can use that briefcase to store the photos he has that he’s been using to blackmail Vince all these years #MITB

.#MITB match was phenomenal. Reigns/Kofi/Orton spot was fantastic. Wyatt coming in… And then Sheamus happened. pic.twitter.com/S30HU6b897

I said it. Only people who had a real shot to win this #MITB were Reigns & Sheamus. Congrats to Sheamus. 1 of hardest working guys in WWE

Ugh, Sheamus. Really? Disappointing end to a really fun match. #MITB

Sheamus does nothing for me, sorry! #MITB

#MITB Sheamus is the kind of MITB holder who should cash-in and lose.

I can’t stress how incredibly lame Sheamus winning #MITB is.

Pretty sure that Sheamus Finish made nearly everyone go “So, Game of Thrones in 25mins- Yeah?” #MITB @TNACreative

Not sure what Sheamus w the #MITB case does for anyone but I don’t hate Reigns/Wyatt for a few months. Tho prob means no Sheild 3-way at SS
