The anticipation for WrestleMania 40 is building, especially with the headline clash between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, shaping up to be one of WWE’s historic encounters.
While fans are speculating about who will emerge as the Undisputed Champion, an unexpected twist could unfold, courtesy of Mr. Money in the Bank, Damian Priest.
In a recent appearance on Sony Liv’s WWE Super Dhamaal, Damian Priest discussed his Money in the Bank contract and potential cash-in plans.
He highlighted that he has until July 1 to make a move and pointed out that, being a RAW star, he can’t cash in while the World Heavyweight Champion is medically unavailable.
Expressing enthusiasm for WrestleMania and the involvement of The Rock in the Reigns-Rhodes narrative, Priest mentioned that Seth Rollins would likely be cleared to compete by then.

While keeping his options open, Damian didn’t specify a particular target for his contract but seemed content with potential champions he could cash in on.
This revelation suggests that while Damian Priest isn’t ruling out Cody or Roman at WrestleMania, his primary focus might be on Seth Rollins.
However, given the unpredictable nature of Money in the Bank cash-ins, Rhodes and Reigns cannot completely disregard the threat Priest poses.
The escalating tensions between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns took an unexpected turn during the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Press Event.
The Rock, offended by Rhodes’ insults targeting Reigns’ family, slapped Cody, intensifying the personal animosity between them. With Reigns having The Bloodline in his corner, fans are now speculating about Cody Rhodes potentially bringing his brother, Dustin Rhodes, back to WWE for support at WrestleMania 40.
As the countdown to WrestleMania continues, the landscape becomes more intricate, introducing Damian Priest as a wildcard that could significantly impact the outcome of the highly anticipated clash between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.
