‘The Best in the World’ CM Punk strikes again
Damian Priest, the World Heavyweight Champion, had something to prove against Seth Rollins who initially brought the championship to glory. El Campeon faced Seth “Freakin” Rollins for the WWE title at Money in the Bank.
Seth Rollins was the first to hold the new World Heavyweight Championship, and he quickly elevated the title to elite status as a fighting champion, defeating Drew McIntyre, Finn Bálor, and Shinsuke Nakamura. At WWE WrestleMania XL, McIntyre finally ended his reign, only to lose the title moments later when Damian Priest cashed in the Money in the Bank contract, pinned McIntyre, and walked off The Grandest Stage of Them All.
When Rollins returned to Raw for the first time since The Show of Shows on June 17, he appeared to be ready to compete in the Money in the Bank Ladder match to reclaim the World Heavyweight Title. Following a tense discussion with Priest, the champion handed Rollins a title shot to prove to The Visionary and everyone else that he is the Superstar who truly deserves the gold.
Then, one week later, Priest and Rollins faced off, raising the stakes of their encounter. If Damian Priest wins, The Visionary will be unable to confront him again, and if Rollins wins, El Campeón will be forced to leave The Judgment Day. Let’s see who comes on top.
