Seth Rollins was able to take the WWE United States Championship away from Bobby Lashley recently, due to the help of Brock Lesnar. Meanwhile, Austin Theory got desperate – and wasted his Money In The Bank contract on a failed shot at Rollins and the belt. Tonight, these three men collide in a Triple Threat match, with the WWE United States Championship on the line. Rollins doesn’t need to be factored into the finish to lose his championship, making this a very high risk situation. Right now, the United States Championship is the top belt on Monday Night RAW – making it more valuable than almost ever before.
