However, the latest reports claim that Priest was absent due to personal reasons. The creative originally planned to have him back on WWE RAW before the Money in the Bank qualifiers began.

Priest returned to action for the Battle Royal this week and was the last superstar eliminated from the match. He is expected to kickstart a fresh feud in the coming weeks. WWE SmackDown Superstar Montez Ford was also written off television earlier this month due to a kayfabe injury that he sustained during Otis’ brutal attacks.
However, reports state that Ford had to undergo "voluntary surgery" that had nothing to do with the storyline injury. It further suggests that it won’t be long before he is ready for in-ring action. Montez Ford will return to avenge the attack as The Street Profits continue their rivalry with The Alpha Academy on WWE SmackDown.
