Damian Priest has held the title of Mr. Money In The Bank in WWE for over nine months now. Since clinching the prestigious contract in July 2023, The Judgment Day’s Punishment has encountered numerous obstacles when attempting to cash in the briefcase, frustrating both fans and himself.
He particularly missed out on seizing opportunities when Seth Rollins was at his most vulnerable, much to the disappointment of the audience.
As time ticks away, the pressure mounts for The Archer of Infamy to make the most of this golden opportunity, but the stage could finally be set for him at WrestleMania XL.
In recent weeks, there have been subtle hints suggesting that Priest might cash in at Lincoln Financial Field, especially during the World Heavyweight Championship match. Not only that, but these clues also imply that he could emerge victorious, leaving Philadelphia with the coveted title.
Here are three compelling signs that Damian Priest could indeed become the new World Heavyweight Champion at WWE WrestleMania XL:
#3: CM Punk and The Bloodline’s potential interference opens up an opportunity for Damian Priest at WWE WrestleMania XL
One of Drew McIntyre’s major grievances with Seth Rollins in their WrestleMania feud has been Rollins’ divided focus. This is a valid concern, as Rollins will be facing both McIntyre and The Bloodline in Philadelphia.
Wrestlemania Nite 2.
Nite 1: DP Fakes injury. Either to get out the tag match or Finn does the work to retain.
Seth & Cody win via DQ. Bloodline beats them down.

However, McIntyre seems to overlook his own obsession, namely CM Punk, which could play into Priest’s hands.
With CM Punk likely to interfere during or after the championship match, and The Bloodline potentially causing chaos, Priest could find himself with a clear path to cash in and claim the title.
#2: Damian Priest’s subtle hints on WWE RAW could be a sign of things to come at WrestleMania XL
As WWE builds towards WrestleMania XL, tensions within The Judgment Day faction have been subtly teased. Priest, in particular, has shown signs of discontent within the group and a desire for individual success.

His remarks on the importance of WrestleMania XL for the group and himself have raised eyebrows, hinting at a significant moment for him at the event.
Could this be Priest’s moment to shine? The hints dropped on RAW suggest so, as WWE rarely plants such seeds without a planned payoff.
#1: WWE Clash at the Castle 2024 in Scotland could set the stage for Damian Priest’s WrestleMania XL triumph
WWE’s announcement of Clash At The Castle PLE’s return in Scotland, Drew McIntyre’s homeland, has sparked speculation about his role at WrestleMania XL.
So since we know Clash At The Castle is happening in Glasgow Scotland do is a possibility that Damian does have a successful cash-in to give Drew his big moment in front of his family and fans

While many anticipate McIntyre reclaiming the title at the grand event, an alternative theory suggests a different outcome.
Should Priest cash in at Lincoln Financial Field, McIntyre could become the challenger at the OVO Hydro Arena in Glasgow, where he would finally achieve his long-awaited victory in front of his home crowd.
This scenario would not only create two unforgettable WrestleMania moments but also ensure that the Money In The Bank contract is utilized effectively.
