In an exclusive interview on Sony Liv’s WWE Super Dhamaal, Damian Priest, the current Mr. Money in the Bank, shared his plans and expectations for cashing in his contract, particularly in light of WrestleMania 40 approaching. With over seven months having passed since he secured the briefcase, Priest revealed that he is not in a rush to cash in, but is instead keeping his options open for the WWE’s biggest event of the year.
Priest acknowledged the notable names set to feature at WrestleMania 40, including Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, The Rock, and Seth Rollins, who is expected to be cleared of his injury by then. He hinted at the possibility of disrupting many individuals’ plans at the event, stating that he “could ruin a lot of people’s days.” However, he neither confirmed nor denied cashing in on anyone specific, instead emphasizing the excitement and potential opportunities that WrestleMania presents.
Since winning the Mr. Money in the Bank briefcase, Priest has faced a series of setbacks, with his attempts to cash in on Seth Rollins thwarted by other competitors, including Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton. Furthermore, he has been busy defending the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships alongside Finn Balor from The Judgment Day, with their next title defense scheduled for Elimination Chamber on February 24th.
Priest’s reluctance to rush into cashing in his contract may suggest that he is biding his time, waiting for the right moment to strike. Having tasted the fleeting excitement of winning the briefcase, he may be eager to capitalize on the momentum and prestige that comes with being Mr. Money in the Bank. WWE fans are eagerly anticipating his next move, wondering whether he will cash in at WrestleMania 40 or continue to build anticipation for a future opportunity.
As Priest teases the possibility of cashing in at WrestleMania 40, he has put top names on notice, forcing them to stay vigilant and ready for any unexpected twists. The uncertainty and unpredictability surrounding his plans add to the excitement, making it an intriguing story arc to follow in the lead-up to the event. Ultimately, only time will tell whether Damian Priest will seize the moment and cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase, potentially altering the course of the WWE’s biggest event.
