Seth Rollins will defend the gold at WWE Money in the Bank.
On the June 12 episode of WWE Raw, Finn Balor called WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins after a heated staredown at the end of the June 5 episode of WWE Raw. Balor told Rollins he had been waiting seven years to tell him something. Once the crowd stopped singing Rollins' theme, Balor described how Rollins took everything from him, as an injury forced him to relinquish the Universal Championship after he beat Rollins at SummerSlam 2016 to win the gold.
Balor then stated that it was his turn to take everything from Rollins, and he would do it at WWE Money in the Bank. Rollins noted that he had been waiting to see that version of Balor for seven years. He said Balor became bitter after the setback, whereas he came out of that match even better. Rollins stated that he was better than ever, and he accepted Balor's challenge.

Rollins concluded his message by saying that the version of Balor he faced at SummerSlam 2016 stood a chance, but the Balor he had seen for the past seven years did not.
Rollins previously defended the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest on the June 5 episode of WWE Raw.
