Details on backstage heat regarding Damian Priest-Seth Rollins botch at Money In The Bank - Reports
Seth Rollins and Damian Priest locked horns at Money In The Bank for the World Heavyweight Title. The match saw a chaotic end but what made even bigger news was Priest's botch. A report has seemingly confirmed the stance of officials on a WWE talent involved in the match.
Damian Priest managed to walk out of the premium live event this weekend with the World Heavyweight Title. The Judgment Day member was able to fight off Seth Rollins and an unexpected Drew McIntyre with some help from CM Punk to hold on to his championship.
Before Drew McIntyre decided to cash-in his Money In The Bank briefcase in the World Heavyweight Title match, Damian Priest didn't kick out of a pin. The WWE Universe noticed that the referee didn't count to three and called out the botch across the internet. Now, WrestleVotes has reported that even though the spot didn't go as planned, there is no backstage heat on the referee, Rod Zapada.
"I’m told there is no real heat on referee Rod Zapada following the mishap on Saturday night during the World Championship match. A source said, ‘In years past, absolutely.’"
