In the anticipation leading up to WrestleMania 40, the official teaser trailer featured Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes in a face-off with The Rock and Roman Reigns, sparking curiosity about their roles at the grand event. The evolving storyline could have positive repercussions for RAW Superstar Damian Priest.
Initially, The Visionary, Seth Rollins, sought a challenge from Cody Rhodes, but Rhodes opted for a showdown with Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Following Drew McIntyre’s insistence that Rhodes finish his story at WrestleMania 40, plans took an unexpected turn.
With Cody Rhodes now set to face Roman Reigns, the World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, finds himself without a confirmed opponent. On the upcoming RAW episode, Rollins and Rhodes are expected to address the aftermath of the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff, where The Rock slapped Rhodes.
A potential ambush by The Bloodline, led by The Rock, during this segment, could create an opportunity for Damian Priest to finally cash in his Money in the Bank contract and vie for the World Heavyweight Title.
Despite several attempts to cash in, Priest has been thwarted by Drew McIntyre in the past. However, with The Rock and The Bloodline targeting Rollins and Rhodes, Priest might find the opening he needs to claim the championship.
Priest has expressed a desire to cash in his briefcase in an exciting scenario, making WrestleMania 40 an ideal stage for a potential title change.
In this scenario, Seth Rollins could face The Rock at the event, seeking retribution for the interference that cost him the title on WWE RAW. Simultaneously, Damian Priest could engage in a title clash with Drew McIntyre for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Regardless of the outcome, the aftermath of the title match could witness The Judgment Day turning on Priest, paving the way for his transition into a singles competitor on the RAW brand.
Meanwhile, Seth Rollins has issued a warning to The Rock, asserting his dominance as the World Heavyweight Champion and staking his claim on WrestleMania.
As the event approaches, the confirmed matches include IYO SKY vs. Bayley for the WWE Women’s Championship and Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
