Real reason why Damian Priest hasn't cashed in his MITB briefcase; plans to cash in at an "exciting" time
Damian Priest won the right to call himself Mr. Money In The Bank last year. However, the WWE Universe has seen him fail cashing in his briefcase on five occasions. In an interview, Priest spoke about what was stopping him.
The former United States Champion played a pivotal role in WWE during the pandemic era. He shaped up The Judgment Day storyline and had great matches with Bad Bunny. Now, Senor Money In The Bank is one-half of the Undisputed Tag team Champions with Finn Balor.
Even though he is a current champion in WWE, Damian Priest has tried encashing his Money In The Bank briefcase on many occasions. Every time, there is a new reason why he hasn't been able to make the match official. On West Sport, Priest explained why he is yet to cash in the briefcase.
“Well obviously, I’m based on RAW and being that Seth Rollins is the champion unfortunately he’s not medically cleared, so I can’t cash in right now because officially he can’t be in a match. So I kinda have to just wait until he’s cleared or you know, if I find myself on the other show, it’d be different, but that champion isn’t around all the time either."
During the same conversation, The Judgment Day member also stated that his MITB contract is valid till July 1st, so he is binding his time and doesn't want to risk anything. He also added that he wants to become a World Champion on either show while hinting at when that could happen.
“So I still have time and obviously we got WrestleMania coming up, and that’s always a good time around that. Whether it be Mania or the SmackDown before, the Raw after, it’s always an exciting time, so you never know what could happen.” [H/T Ringside News]
