He emphasized his aspiration to not merely appear at the event but to actively compete in a match.
“I know, absolutely. The goal is to have a match, you don’t wanna just show up. The last two WrestleManias, they did hurt a little bit, I’m not gonna lie,”
Priest shared.
Looking ahead, Priest is set to participate in WrestleMania 40, teaming up with Finn Balor to defend their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles in a high-stakes six-team Ladder match.
With his eyes on the prize, Priest aims to capitalize on his Money in the Bank contract and secure a championship opportunity.
Addressing questions about his prolonged tenure with the Money in the Bank briefcase, Priest reassured fans that he wasn’t feeling pressured to cash in prematurely.

Priest asserted.
Despite speculation surrounding his cash-in plans, Priest remains composed and confident in his abilities.
As he strategizes his next move, fans eagerly anticipate his potential championship pursuit on both RAW and SmackDown.
As the WWE landscape evolves, Damian Priest’s journey promises to be one filled with anticipation and excitement, with WrestleMania 40 marking a pivotal moment in his career trajectory.
