At WWE Money in the Bank, Roman Reigns faced Seth Rollins with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line, what happened in the match?

Roman Reigns has held the WWE World Heavyweight Championship since November 2015. He managed to get his hands on the title when the reigning champion, Seth Rollins, was forced to vacate the title after suffering a massive knee injury during a house show match with Kane.

Last month at Extreme Rules, immediately following Reigns’ title match victory against AJ Styles, Rollins made his return after seven months out from that knee injury. Almost immediately, this match between the current and former champions was announced for Money in the Bank.
