Damian Priest brings Drew McIntyre’s dream to a crushing end.
The opening match of WrestleMania Sunday saw Drew McIntyre defeat Seth Rollins to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. As McIntyre basked in his victory, he could not resist rubbing it in the face of CM Punk, who provided guest commentary for the match. Standing on the announce table and getting right in Punk’s face, Punk took all he could stand as he attacked McIntyre and struck him with the cast.
As the new World Heavyweight Champion was left lying, the music of The Judgement Day hit. Damian Priest sprinted to the ring and cashed in his Money in the Bank contract. One South of Heaven chokeslam later and Priest became the new champion, winning the World Championship for the first time in his career and bringing McIntyre’s reign to an end in a matter of minutes. The rest of the Judgment Day celebrated on top of the ramp as McIntyre looked on in disbelief.
Damian Priest Wins Big
Victorious at Money in the Bank in London back in July 2023, Priest bided his time before choosing his moment. While at one point it appeared the Priest may never cash in the contract, and if so it would be unsuccessful, Priest proved everyone wrong to become the top champion of Monday Night Raw, meaning once again The Judgment Day run the brand.
