What if WWE purposely delayed Damian Priest's MITB cash-in on RAW? Analyzing major swerve

Damian Priest should have cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on RAW this past Monday. The Archer of Infamy had the perfect opportunity to topple an injured Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship. At least, that’s what fans think he should’ve done in the first place.

But what if WWE purposely delayed the moment for a much bigger payoff? A fan provided an interesting theory as to why Priest didn’t cash in his contract on the show and instead declared for the upcoming Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. According to X user @cutrer35, Priest entering the rumble with the contract is a smart move.

Check out the post below:

Damian Priest has until July to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase. The Judgment Day star attempted a cash-in during Seth Rollins’ world title defense against Jinder Mahal two weeks ago on the red brand. Priest, however, was again denied his opportunity by Drew McIntyre. He lost his singles match to the Scottish Warrior this past Monday on RAW.
