Damian Priest tried to have multiple Money in the Bank cash-in attempts in the past and this week’s WWE Raw was one of those nights. This time around, he was stopped to utilize his opportunity by the challenger who was actually competing for the World Heavyweight Championship.
In the main event of this week’s WWE Raw, Seth Rollins (c) defeated Drew McIntyre to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. There was a point in the match where Rollins delivered a superkick and a Pedigree but McIntyre kicked out of it. It was then that Money in the Bank briefcase holder Priest came out flanked by Dominik Mysterio and the referee.
After interfering in the WWE Raw main event, Priest hit Rollins with the briefcase and looked to cash in, but McIntyre leveled him with a Claymore Kick before taking out Dominik. He also laid out Rollins with a Claymore but the veteran champ survived by placing his feet on the ropes.
