Seth Rollins will get the chance to win back the WWE World Heavyweight Title when he takes on Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank.

Rollins was forced to vacate the championship last November after picking up a serious knee injury that subsequently ruled him out for over six months.

The Architect returned at WWE Extreme Rules on Sunday night, attacking current champion Roman Reigns moments after his former Shield stablemate had defeated AJ Styles.

Shane McMahon then announced on Raw that Rollins would get his championship rematch at WWE's big event in Las Vegas on June 19, which you can watch live on Sky Sports Box Office.

Rollins was scheduled to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Title against Reigns at the 2015 edition of Survivor Series, though that match was shelved when the Aerialist tore his ACL, MCL and medial meniscus while wrestling at a WWE live event in Dublin.

Reigns would go on to secure the title after winning a 16-man tournament - The Big Dog defeating close friend Dean Ambrose in the final at Survivor Series - before immediately losing the strap when Sheamus cashed in his Money in the Bank contract.

Reigns would then beat Sheamus to become a two-time world champion before landing the championship for a third time when he overcame Triple H at WrestleMania, weeks after losing the title to The Game during the 2016 Royal Rumble Match.
