Seth Rollins has become a two-time World Heavyweight Champion after cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase on CM Punk at SummerSlam. His next move may be to reveal the name of his faction, perhaps as early as this Monday on RAW.
The 39-year-old promised Punk that as long as he was alive and breathing, he'd make sure he never held the world championship, and those words came to fruition on Saturday night. He pulled a fast one on fans, tricking them into thinking he was on the shelf with a knee injury and instead returning to cash in and prevent his longtime rival from holding the gold.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the name of Rollins' group, which consists of Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. All four were at SummerSlam on night one with Heyman accompanying Rollins to the ring for his cash-in and also ringside for Breakker and Reed's loss to Roman Reigns and Jey Uso in the PLE's opening contest.
WWE recently filed to trademark "The Vision", which, given the new World Heavyweight Champion's nickname, is 'The Visionary', suggests it will be his faction's name. He will undoubtedly touch on cashing in on Punk on RAW this Monday and may also take the opportunity to make the reveal.

The formation of Rollins' stable began at WrestleMania 41, when Heyman betrayed Punk and Reigns, aligning with the former Shield member. They recruited Breakker on the RAW after Mania and Reed weeks later.
Rollins had missed the last few weeks of television after sustaining an "injury" in a loss to LA Knight at Saturday Night's Main Event in June. He wore a knee brace and told media outlets that the situation was legitimate, but it was all a ruse; instead, he tactfully and successfully became a world champion.
Heyman also played an important role in "the ruse of the century", putting fans off the scent with his promos in Rollins' absence. He even called Breakker the "leader" of the faction on the SummerSlam KickOff Show.
The Wiseman posted a snap of all four men celebrating Rollins' world title win and took aim at Triple H in the process. The WWE Hall of Famer wrote on X:
"Isn't this a tradition in WWE that the brand new champion always poses in the gorilla position with someone? Did we make people mad? Are you all upset with us? I hate to say we told you so, but we told you about Plan B so Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman and I represent not only Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, but the reigning, defending… Seth Rollins!"

Triple H traditionally posts a similar picture alongside a new champion on social media when title changes take place. WWE's chief content officer didn't do that with Rollins and suggested in the SummerSlam post-show press conference that he wasn't too happy about the new world champion feigning injury.
Rollins becomes the latest WWE star to partner up with Heyman and become a world champion. He joins a list consisting of names such as Punk, Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, and The Big Show.
