World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest is set to defend his title against the original holder, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, at WWE Money in the Bank. Rollins was the first to uplift the new World Heavyweight Title, establishing its prestige by defending it against top-tier opponents such as Drew McIntyre, Finn Bálor, and Shinsuke Nakamura.
Rollins’ impressive reign was brought to an end at WrestleMania XL when McIntyre claimed the title. However, Damian Priest seized the moment by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, pinning McIntyre, and leaving WrestleMania as the new champion.
Rollins made his return on the June 17 episode of Raw, seemingly poised to join the Money in the Bank Ladder Match to reclaim his title. During a heated exchange with Priest, the current champion proposed a direct title match to prove that he is the rightful holder of the gold.
This matchup is more than a title defense for Priest; it’s an opportunity to validate his championship status against the man who first brought honor to the belt. Fans can expect an electrifying showdown as Priest aims to solidify his reign and Rollins fights to regain the championship he once elevated to greatness.
Witness this high-stakes clash at WWE Money in the Bank, where Damian Priest and Seth Rollins will battle for the World Heavyweight Title in a match that promises to be unforgettable.
