On Monday Night RAW, Damian Priest is one of the biggest dark horses. While most fans are focused on CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Seth Rollins, they often forget that Damian currently holds the Money in the Bank briefcase and can become champion whenever he wants.
However, a recent development by WWE concerning Damian Priest has somehow created confusion among fans. On social media platform X, he has been announced as an entrant in the Royal Rumble. This decision has been criticized by many.
As per several fans online, The Judgment Day member should have been the one to cash in his MITB contract on Seth Rollins on RAW. Given Rollins is injured and will be required to step away from in-ring competition for a while, this could have been an excellent opportunity for Damian to win his first world championship in WWE.
