Seth Rollins is no stranger to high-stakes moments. As the only man in WWE history to successfully cash in the Money in the Bank contract at a WrestleMania main event, The Visionary thrives on unpredictability and timing.
After winning his second Money in the Bank ladder match in 2025, Rollins now has a full year to choose the perfect moment to strike and WWE Night of Champions might just be it.
Scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia, Night of Champions will feature one of the most anticipated bouts of the year: John Cena defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against CM Punk.
With two of the biggest names in the industry locking horns, the spotlight is already intense, but that only makes it a more enticing target for Mr. Money in the Bank. Add in Rollins’ ongoing feud with CM Punk and his complicated history with John Cena, and you have a scenario ripe for a dramatic cash-in.
Here are three key reasons why Seth Rollins may choose to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase at WWE Night of Champions 2025.
3. John Cena once said Seth Rollins’ name in his promo
John Cena and CM Punk are two of the most psychologically driven performers in WWE history. Their rivalry is fueled by ideology, legacy, and personal disdain. John Cena once name dropped Seth Rollins & that could potentially fuel the cash-in.
As we’ve seen on WWE RAW and SmackDown in recent weeks, their verbal barbs have taken center stage, Cena questioning Punk’s moral compass, Punk calling out Cena’s sellout tendencies. This emotional warfare could blind both men to the real threat: Seth Rollins.
By letting Cena and Punk exhaust each other mentally and physically in their championship clash, Rollins could exploit their vulnerability. A post-match cash-in, after a grueling war, would fit perfectly into The Visionary’s playbook.
2. Seth Rollins has a long history with CM Punk
While most MITB winners pick their moments based on strategic opportunity, Rollins may be driven by something deeper: revenge. Ever since CM Punk returned to WWE in late 2023, Rollins has openly disrespected and resented him.
Their feud has seen backstage shoot-style promos, near shoot-fights, and months of hostility. Punk stands for everything Rollins believes is hollow and seeing him win the Undisputed WWE Championship could be the last straw.
By cashing in during Punk’s biggest moment, just as he’s about to defeat Cena, Rollins could simultaneously rob his rival of glory and crown himself champion. It wouldn’t just be about the title; it would be personal payback on the grandest scale.
1. Seth Rollins is already looking to sit at top of WWE
Following Money in the Bank, Rollins didn’t waste time. He appeared on RAW with his entourage and MITB briefcase in hand as Cena and Punk faced off in the ring. This was no coincidence. The message was clear: he’s watching, waiting, and ready.
In a segment brimming with tension, Rollins didn’t need to say much. His mere presence sent a message to both Cena and Punk, had their time at the top may be shorter than they think.
His manager’s subtle nod, his faction standing tall in the background, and the camera’s focus on the briefcase all pointed toward an impending cash-in. If there was ever a moment to strike, it could be during or right after Cena vs. Punk at Night of Champions.
