Potential details on who might be the one to dethrone Damian Priest as the World Champion - Reports

Damian Priest shocked the world after he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and defeated Drew McIntyre to win the World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 40. Priest cashed in 5 minutes after McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins to win the title. Priest has had one successful defense till now against Jey Uso.

This week on RAW, Priest had a confrontation with Drew McIntyre, hinting at a potential match between the two in the near future. McIntyre is currently dealing with an injury and has not been competing in matches despite appearing on television weekly. However, The Scottish Warrior could still be poised to regain the World Championship by defeating Priest.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that it is possible that WWE is teasing a match between Priest and McIntyre and The Scot could be the one to dethrone Priest eventually. He said that they might have two matches in which McIntyre would lose the first one and then go on to become World Champion in the second.

​

''And actually could make sense in some ways is, Drew gets screwed on the first one and then comes back to win the second one,'' said Meltzer.
