Rollins recently defeated Balor in the opening rounds of the tournament on Raw to crown the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Early in his run on the main roster, Balor defeated Rollins at Summerslam to become the first ever WWE Universal Champion.

Last week on Raw, fellow Judgement Day member Damian Priest answered Seth’s open challenge for a world title match, but lost the match after Balor tried to help him. Balor and Rollins stared each other down to end that show.

Rollins won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. He defeated A.J. Styles to win the tournament that crowned the first champion. Rollins will face Balor with his title on the line at Money in the Bank.

WWE Money in the Bank 2023 airs live on Peacock from London at the 02 Arena. Other matches on the show include both the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder matches, Cody Rhodes vs. Dominik Mysterio, and more.
