Damian Priest Explains Why He Isn’t Cashing In WWE Money In The Bank Yet

WWE

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion Damian Priest has explained why he isn’t cashing in WWE Money In The Bank quite yet.

On the January 22 episode of WWE Raw, World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins announced that he suffered a torn MCL injury and was medically unable to compete.

Despite his injury, Rollins did state that he intends on defending his title at WrestleMania 40 this April.

This has led to some questions in regards to Senor Money In The Bank Damian Priest not cashing in his contract on the injured champion.

In a new interview with The West Sport, Damian Priest explained why he isn’t able to cash in WWE Money In The Bank yet. He said:

“Well obviously, 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 you know, 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, I have plenty of time, so I’m just, I don’t want to risk doing something I shouldn’t, you know.”

On the focus he has on become a World Champion, Priest said:

“Like you said, five times I’ve attempted but didn’t cash in. I’d rather that than a failed cash in, right? So I’m just being extra careful right now because this is not gonna go to 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, and that’s always a good time around that. Whether it be Mania or the SmackDown before, the Raw after, it’s always an exciting time, so you never know what could happen.”
