Everybody knows that a big Money in the Bank win change the landscape of WWE in an instant. Several WWE stars have taken their careers to the next level after cashing in the briefcase, but Damian Priest has yet to use his opportunity to challenge for a title.
Recently Damian Priest spoke to The West Sport about why he hasn’t cashed in his Money in the Bank contract yet, and he explained why he’s waiting for the right moment.
“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.”
“It’s one of those things about me binding my time. You know, I still have until July 1st, you know I have plenty of time, so I’m just, I don’t want to risk doing something I shouldn’t, you know.”
We’re getting deeper into WrestleMania season with each passing day and Priest went on to tease that he could potentially cash in his Money in the Bank contract closer to the Show of Shows.
“Like you said, five times I’ve attempted but didn’t cash in, you know. I rather that than a failed cash in, right? So I’m just being extra careful right now because this is not gonna go to waste, you know.”
“In my head, I have to become World Champion, whether it’s on Raw or SmackDown. Either way, I have to become a major titleholder and I have to be extra careful about it.”
“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.”
