WrestleMania XL is gearing up to dominate Philadelphia for a thrilling two-night spectacle next month, and all eyes are on Roman Reigns as he prepares to headline both main events.
The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion finds himself in the crosshairs of many main roster stars. However, one man stands out as a potential spoiler to Reigns’ reign: Damian Priest.
With two nights to potentially cash in his Money in the Bank contract, Priest could be the wildcard that alters the course of WrestleMania and prevents Cody Rhodes from scripting the ending he desires.
Should Rhodes and Seth Rollins emerge victorious against The Rock and Reigns on Night One, it opens the door for Priest to capitalize on his contract.
This strategic move could have far-reaching implications for WrestleMania Night Two. Here, we explore four potential scenarios:
1. Damian Priest vs. Roman Reigns Headlines WrestleMania Night Two
A cash-in by Damian Priest could propel him to his first World Championship, effectively sidelining Cody Rhodes from the narrative.
With Reigns forced to invoke his rematch clause the following night, Priest could find himself in the coveted main event spotlight alongside The Tribal Chief.
Rhodes, despite triumphing in the tag team match on Night One, would be relegated to the role of spectator, watching as Priest and Reigns clash for supremacy.
2. Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns Proceeds Regardless of Title Stakes
Even if the championship isn’t on the line, Cody Rhodes has earned the right to face Roman Reigns one-on-one should he emerge victorious in the tag team bout on Night One.
WWE might opt to proceed with the match to provide closure to their ongoing storyline. A victory over Reigns would mark a significant milestone for Rhodes, affirming his place among the elite despite the absence of championship gold.
3. WWE Contemplates Main Event Match Cancellation
While the prospect of match cancellation seems unlikely, WWE is known for its ability to adapt to unforeseen circumstances. Priest’s cash-in would undoubtedly be a meticulously planned moment, leaving room for contingency plans.
In the event of a cancellation, WWE would undoubtedly find a suitable replacement match for Rhodes, ensuring he receives the opportunity for retribution, possibly against Priest with the title at stake.
4. WrestleMania Main Event Evolves into a Triple-Threat Showdown
One potential downside of Priest cashing in on Night One is the possibility of a triple-threat match materializing on Night Two. Triple-threat bouts introduce an element of chaos, where interference becomes a factor.
The presence of The Judgment Day and The Bloodline could tip the scales in unexpected ways. Additionally, Priest’s obligations in the Tag Team Championship match would divide his focus, making a Night Two cash-in a more strategic move.
As WrestleMania XL looms large on the horizon, the landscape of WWE hangs in the balance.
With Roman Reigns poised to assert his dominance, Damian Priest’s looming cash-in adds an element of unpredictability that could redefine the destiny of the grandest stage in sports entertainment.
