Those expecting drama in WWE’s Survivor Series got their money’s worth and then some Sunday night.
With the world heavyweight championship on the line, Sheamus cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to snatch the title from Roman Reigns’ grasp in a wild finish.
Reigns appeared to have the title locked up after defeating Dean Ambrose in the tournament final at Philips Arena in Atlanta.

But the drama had only begun.
As Triple H came out to congratulate Reigns on his win, Sheamus emerged from nowhere to put Reigns on the mat with a brogue kick.

Reigns was able to elude Sheamus’ second brogue kick, but the Irishman landed his third attack to down Reigns and earn the shocking victory.
