Damian Priest is set to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Seth "Freakin" Rollins at WWE Money in the Bank. There is an intriguing gentleman's agreement involved: if Rollins loses, he cannot challenge for the championship as long as Priest holds the belt.

Meanwhile, if Priest loses, he has agreed to leave Judgment Day. There have been hints that Priest's fellow Judgment Day member, the 42-year-old Finn Balor, might be the next challenger for the title.

During RAW this week, Finn confronted Rollins, accusing him of causing turmoil within The Judgment Day. Seth claimed Priest is his own man and suggested that Balor's accusations stem from jealousy over Damian being the world champion.

If Priest loses the title in Canada, he will have to leave The Judgment Day. This could set the stage for Finn Balor to bring the world title back to the stable as the first challenger to Seth Rollins.


Tensions continue to rise within The Judgment Day on WWE RAW

Last week on Monday Night RAW, Damian Priest said that The Judgment Day needed him more than he needed it. This statement did not sit well with Finn Balor, who feels that Priest has changed after winning the World Heavyweight Championship.

Priest, on the other hand, is determined to prove that he can defeat Seth Rollins at WWE Money in the Bank without any help from Judgment Day.

All signs point to a potential breakup. Even if Priest retains his title, Finn may decide he's had enough of Priest and challenge him for the World Heavyweight Championship.
