Night Two of WrestleMania 40 delivered a stunning turn of events as Damian Priest emerged victorious, claiming the World Heavyweight Championship to the delight of his fellow wrestler, Rhea Ripley.
In a dramatic twist, Priest utilized his Money in the Bank contract to seize the title from Drew McIntyre, capitalizing on the chaos instigated by CM Punk’s assault on McIntyre during his battle with Seth Rollins.
The Archer of Infamy capitalized on the opportunity amidst a flurry of finishers, marking a triumphant turnaround after his previous night’s losses.
Ripley, visibly ecstatic about her teammate’s success, took to Twitter to express her elation and shut down any doubters with a message that left little to the imagination:
“Proud is a `f-in` understatement! S*CK IT LOSERS,”
tweeted Rhea Ripley.
With Damian Priest’s ascension to the top of WWE RAW, WrestleMania 40 proved to be a resounding victory for The Judgment Day faction.
Despite setbacks like Finn Balor and Priest losing their respective tag team championships, the night concluded with a significant win for the group.
Even though Dominik Mysterio faced defeat in his tag team matchup, Ripley ensured a strong start for The Judgment Day by securing a memorable victory over Becky Lynch in the event’s opening bout.
