Seth Rollins lost the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40 following his defeat to Drew McIntyre. Still, the Scottish Warrior was a champion for less than six minutes, as Damian Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and became the new World Champion.
Seth broke into tears after losing the title and a video has now surfaced on what he told Priest before his cash-in on McIntyre.
"I told you it was all going to be worth it. Biggest moment of your life. I am so happy for you," The Visionary told the then-leader of The Judgment Day.

WWE recreated the moment from WrestleMania 31 when Rollins interfered in the title match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar and cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to become the new champion.
Damian Priest admits that he wanted to cash in on Seth Rollins
Damian Priest recently admitted that his initial intention was to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Rollins at WrestleMania 40. The former leader of The Judgment Day called Rollins a 'workhorse champion' and explained why he wanted to cash in on him.
"That’s exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to cash it in on Seth, and I haven’t even been shy about admitting that. He did it first at WrestleMania It would be a cool story to say that I did it to him at WrestleMania. Seth Rollins was the workhorse champion. So for me, I wanted to beat Seth Rollins, I feel like that would solidify me even more as a champion. You beat Seth for the title, and that’s huge," Damian Priest said in an interview with the Indian Express a month ago.
Three months after WrestleMania 40, Priest put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Rollins at the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event and eventually stood tall to retain the championship.
