Damian Priest has held the WWE Money in the Bank briefcase for several months after winning it last year at the themed PLE.
The top star has teased cashing it on WWE World Heavyweight champion Seth Rollins multiple times, but has yet to successfully get the title shot. He hasn’t attempted to do so in recent memory, and there’s a good reason for that.
While speaking with The West Sport, Priest noted he can’t make an attempt because Rollins is currently injured.
”I’m based on Raw, and being that Seth Rollins is the champion. Unfortunately, he’s not medically cleared, so I can’t cash in right now because, officially, he can’t be in a match. So I kinda have to just wait until he’s cleared, or if I find myself on the other show, it’d be different, but that champion isn’t around all the time either. It’s one of those things about me biding my time. I still have until July 1st, And I have plenty of time. I don’t want to risk doing something I shouldn’t….This isn’t going to be a waste. In my head, I have to become World Champion, whether it’s on Raw or SmackDown. Either way, I have to become a major titleholder, and I have to be extra careful about it. So I still have time and obviously, we got WrestleMania coming up.”
Priest was also asked about R-Truth being part of The Judgment Day and what it’s like working with him.
“It’s another one of those crazy things that, by accident, we just have a dynamic that people have been going crazy about. And who would have thought Truth with Judgment Day? It makes no sense whatsoever. I don’t know, on paper, you would just cringe because it just doesn’t make sense.”
