Sheamus wins the Money in the Bank Contract Ladder Match

COLUMBUS, Ohio – After Bray Wyatt appeared from nowhere to thwart almost-certain victory for Roman Reigns, Sheamus reigned supreme over The Big Dog and five other Superstars in the 2015 Money in the Bank Contract Ladder Match, and capture an opportunity at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship any time he wishes over the next 365 days.

In a contest containing three former Money in the Bank winners and four former World Champions – contenders which included not only The Celtic Warrior and Reigns, but also Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Neville, Randy Orton and Kane – it was a chaotic, ladder-slamming, organ-jarring collision from the opening bell. Moments into the bout, Kingston introduced the ladder into the ring, instantly sparking a seven-Superstar free-for-all climb for glory. ( PHOTOS)

Sheamus soon took charge, demolishing several of his opponents in brutal fashion – including knocking over the ladder with Kofi on top of it. Kingston eventually took out The Celtic Warrior with Trouble in Paradise, but as he and Neville battled atop the ladder, Roman Reigns entered the fray, ultimately Powebombing first Kofi onto the unforgiving steel, then Neville onto Kingston.

In the fury that followed, Kane chokeslamed Reigns off the ladder, only to experience Randy Orton’s RKO. The Viper wasn’t done yet, RKO’ing Kofi right after and delivering a thunderous third, midair RKO upon dislodging Neville from the ladder. 

Sheamus Brogue Kicked The Viper back out of action, but as he engaged Ziggler at the top of the rungs, he suffered a Zig Zag from high above. Neville then rose to hit The Celtic Warrior with an earth-shattering Red Arrow.

Kane quickly thwarted a temporary alliance between Neville and Ziggler, only to be taken out by Reigns. The Big Dog followed that up moments later by leaping over the top rope and onto all of his opponents.

With all seven Superstars down, Big E and Xavier Woods emerged to help fellow New Day member Kingston into the ring. Yet as they watched their brother-in-positivity start his climb on the rungs, Reigns took them both out and Powerbombed Kofi over the top rope, onto all the Superstars outside the ring. 

After Spearing Orton, Reigns climbed up the ladder and was poised to win the match.   That is, until Bray Wyatt appeared from nowhere. The New Face of Fear hit Sister Abigail on The Big Dog, and for all intents and purposes robbed Reigns of a WWE World Heavyweight Title contract.

With Reigns down and carnage in every direction, a struggling Sheamus entered the ring and climbed the rungs, stopping a last-ditch effort by Neville to seize the briefcase up top. For the next year, The Celtic Warrior has amonumental chance at another WWE World Heavyweight Title.
