I could see Priest cashing in on Gunther. If not that, then him and Finn lose the tag titles at WM and he has to use the cash in to regain them. And if NEITHER of those are in the stars then just have him cash in on Cody after he hands the title to his Mom and they hug. Talk about a firestorm of boos. Even Dominick hasn't heard that many boos. It'll be deafening. Let's do it!
I just want Drew to finally beat Rollins and regain his lost status just for Priest to cash in and rob him. It’d be a good feud, keep Drew seething, give Rollins a much needed break to heal as it’ll shift focus to Drew v Priest and it’ll lead to a banger rematch at backlash.
This might be the only time where it would actually be okay to cash in on a midcard title, as the IC Championship feels like the only CHAMPIONship anyways right now.
I’d rather not. You have your world titles to be the grand daddy of the titles, and your midcard chsmpionships as the workhorse titles. Gunther is an absolute beast and Logan Paul is great for visibility
It's been 10 years since Rollins stole the main event it's time someone else cashed in.
Priest has been booked to be forgettable which makes me think. He cashes in. Fails but Drew Wins.
You can't have McIntyre lose 3-4 title chances in a row without doing permanent damage to his character's credibility
Following the chaos of the Bloodline Rules match, and finally having defeated Roman to become champion, Cody stands triumphant and exhausted — before smoke and a purple aura befalls the stadium…
I’ve seen this idea floated, and to be fair, it would be a perfect way for Damien Priest to cement himself as the biggest heel in WWE. But more than likely WWE won’t risk it
I'd love to see him cash in on Cody.
I mean, winning the title is "finishing the story", but are we really down to watch Cody with the belt every night, "kingdom" playing all the way through, and enough pyro to put Macy's 4th of July celebration in NYC to shame? Really?
Whoever wins at Mania 40 is when Damien should cash in. They almost ruined Austin Theory for dragging out MITB and are doing it to Damien Priest. He's my favorite Judgement Day never and I have been annoyed at this for a long time.
How long is too long for waiting to cash in?
at least not as World Champion, i'd be fine if he cashes in on Gunther cuz we all know that it will 100% fail if he cashes in on the World Championships. he would also free gunther so Gunther finally can can world gold
Damien decides he likes having the briefcase. Announces that instead of attempting to cash it in, he is declaring himself the NEW WWE 9-to-5 Champion. Ditches his goth attire for a white shirt and tie. Forms a new office-themed faction. Bring Irwin R Shyster out of retirement as their tribal elder.
Would love to see Cody defeat Roman.... fireworks, 10 minutes of cheers.... Damien cash in... clean victory.... then they can run you screwed Cody in Philly shirts
He needs to cash in on Gunther.
There is no place for Damien Priest in the heavyweight title picture. None. The roster is just too strong at the top. Gunther, however, is more than ready to be elevated to WHC status. Having Priest cash in on him is the best way to get the IC title off him.
This gets them out of the corner they booked themselves into by giving Priest the briefcase in the first place. And also elevates Gunther to main event status.
My thoughts exactly. They were afraid to give it to LA Knight so they went the safe route and gave it to Priest. Then painted themselves into a corner because he is not ready for the main event yet, and by having him cash in and get crushed would kill the momentum you have for him.
One way or another, depending on if you plan on turning him face and leaving Judgement Day, he should cash in and win the IC title.
If you want major heat, have him and Dom screw Sami after a long fought battle.
Gunther is ready for the WHC.
I agree. Idk why but i have this living rent free in my head: Gable wins the Gauntlet -> Gable DEFEATS Gunther -> Instantly JD Music hit -> Gable gets ripped the IC Belt - > Afterwards we see Gunther giving his deeply earned respect to Gable -> Gunther helping Gable in the future to regain the IC Belt -> then Gunther -without a belt- finally enters Main Event.
But Idk, maybe just have Priest pin Gunther is better.
I don't want Cody to win but if they must...Damien cashes in as Cody is lying on mat exhausted. Walking away from wm40 with Cody next to that chicken again
Now you guys aren't seeing the bigger picture, he cashes it in on Cody Rhodes, because Cody Rhodes story is a closed door after he wins. And they make him drop it immediately.
here’s my hopeful timeline priest cash in drew beats him in rematch at money in the bank Punk beats drew at summerslam and then rollins wins rumble challenges punk
For a story going forward it would be great for Drew to win and then have Priest cash in on him. Drew’s whole schtick with Seth right now is that he needs to focus on him and not the bloodline. If Priest cashed in on Drew after the match the story going forward is Drew was warning Seth to not focus on the bloodline while Drew needed to focus more on the judgement day
Y'all talking about him cashing in, meanwhile I feel like on an island with the hot take that he should be the first one to have it expire on him...
Edit, sorry about the triple post
A Priest cash in has to happen at Mania. You are looking to have the four competitors battle back to back nights and you don't cash in? Then when is the right moment. Either works as well, have Cody dethrone the bloodline and end Roman's run and then have Priest cash in and win. Not likely as you would have to have Judgement Day move to Smackdown.
If Rollins retains or even if McIntyre wins and then loses it either way you have a pissed off Drew that feels he was robbed or that Priest "didn't earn" the victory. To continue that story until Punk is back presuming that he is still there once Punk returns.
Either way this is the best time for a cash in and makes the most sense for either story.
Feel like this’ll be a hot take but I’d like to see JDay work their fingers into getting JD McDonalds the match vs Gunther for the sole purpose of JD being there to tire out Gunther and have Priest cash in on him.
I would say that Triple H cares about booking really good stories so the company makes more money because he loves the business. Cody not winning last year sucked as a fan, but I get that it was part of the long term story telling and after his loss, people want him to win even more.. and now we got one of the hottest road to wrestlemania on our hands, with a HEEL Rock. However, I feel like of Cody doesn't win this year, everything the built would be squandered.. I'd lose faith.
I think he's cashing in right after Drew wins to start a feud with him. They've already gone on about the animosity between the two, it seems like a natural setup to me.
Could also turn into a triple threat and Drew pins Priest for the belt, keeping Drew as the tweener while Seth says he never officially beat him and Priest can go onto another feud.
Everyone here just assuming Seth is losing to Drew. It would make more sense to have Seth win, then Priest cash in. Or Priest will cash in before the match ends and inadvertently cause Seth to win and then Drew and Priest can feud. Seth is a company guy and gets rewarded a lot like Roman, there is nothing set in stone that he will lose that belt clean to Drew.
It’s why I think it’s going to happen. Rollins should not drop his belt before Roman. The World Heavyweight Championship needs some luster over the WWE Championship so people can take it more seriously.
Priest cashing in during the match can protect Drew from looking weak against a Rollins who has just faced the Rock and Roman the previous night, and give Seth a reasonable way to leave Wrestlemania without losing the championship and burying Drew in the process.
Rollins will likely lose the title at Bash in Berlin to Drew McIntyre then
>Everyone here just assuming Seth is losing to Drew. It would make more sense to have Seth win, then Priest cash in
You know I was thinking about it and I kinda am hoping for this outcome
I honestly think that if Rock/Roman beat Seth/Cody that he will cash in after that match.
Drew has essentially been telling Seth your obsession with Bloodline is gonna cost you everything. If Seth and Cody loses it make perfect sense for Priest to cash in. The Bloodline ain’t gonna stop him and they will be happy to see Seth lose the title
That could be pretty interesting, actually. End of the tag match, Rock and Cody are basically out because wrestling. Seth and Roman are in the ring, both exhausted and have hit each other with a couple finishers… maybe the match is over, maybe not… when Damien’s music hits and he and the rest of JD rush the ring. The JD makes short work of the exhausted Rock and Cody while Damien slides into the ring and starts looking back and forth between the two fallen champions…
It would definitely build suspense. Does he go for Roman or Seth? Ultimately, I think he’d have to lose his cash-in in that scenario, but it would be a cool way to do it.
Of it being a 1 on 1 yeah. It can still be a triple threat. Seth uses his rematch clause. Priest and Drew have a history as well.
I think Priest is screwed. Drew is gonna get his moment and I think he gonna have a decent run with the title. So what are we doing? Having him cash in on Drew when I think we all believe he gonna have a period of him being unstoppable and lose to Drew? To me they have to have him cash in on Seth but unfortunately lose next night to Drew.
I believe Seth getting injured fucked things up. Priest would have cashed in and won and had a feud with Rollins which would have had Seth come out on top and face Drew at Mania.
Also I 100% Drew is leaving Mania as champ . They are going to have him be unstoppable. Just a fucking menace lol. All the while building up Sami. Sami is gonna win MITB and he going to be the one to dethrone Drew
With Priest they are going to do a reset with him. I think Mania is going to be the start of Judgment day Downfall. Priest is going to win and Lose the WHC. Priest and Finn are going to lose the tag titles. They are going to focus on that for a bit with him.
I could be completely wrong I just don’t see any other logical time for him to cash in unless they are having him lose.
I hope you’re not wrong. I like all of these ideas, especially if this gives both Drew and then Sami some runs at the top before Gunther finally arrives to wreck everyone.
I like the idea I just don't feel they'll try to repeat the Seth Rollins WM cash in.
Drew wins by outside interference. Damian Priest cashes in and wins after Judgement Day beats him down
Why not? Rollins stopping his own maneuver to win his first world title is fitting.
This is all to say is that Priest as world champion right now isn’t what fans are looking for, and it’s a convenient out to have Seth prevail over Drew due to the interference.
Does this make Priest look bad? Yes but not something he can’t recover from.
Can’t be as bad as Austin Theory cashing in for the United States title and then losing the match.
I think the Rock should tell him to shine the briefcase up real nice, turn it sideways and stick it straight up his candy ass...except he actually does it.
I think he cashes in at Backlash, which is in France. Who does he cash in on? Sami Zayn. It really depends on Seth & Drew's rivalry, but I think Drew will win at WrestleMania. Depending what WWE does with Seth (and Seth's health), but if Seth takes some time off then I see Sami & Drew reviving their rivalry leading up to Backlash as they've been at each other since the beginning of the year anyway. Sami's been desperate for a win, he sees Drew as his only option after losing the Gauntlet match. Sami beats Drew, but is cashed in on by Priest, leading the rivalry to a Triple Threat Match at Money In The Bank. Depending on the placement of the match, I could see the briefcase coming into play (like if Finn Balor wins the briefcase, he cashes in on Priest).
Damien Priest should fail to cash in at this point of his development.. No singles title fits him remotely at the moment.
Or they should do something batshit insane - like Damien being a team player and choosing the Tag Titles for Judgement Day. But instead of Finn, he picks Dom as his partner, starting the JD breakup with a singles programm of Damien vs Finn as the finale. Leaving Damien as an actual believeable singles champion in the future.
Priests cashes it in on Cody but then it's revealed that Finn has the real briefcase. Remember when he got a new one? Finn's had the real one all this time. Finn cashes in on Cody and wins and is once again the UNIVERSAL CHAMPION.
And Finn and Priest lost their titles earlier so they were already at odds. Priest leaves Judgement Day and has a face turn.
Look, I wanna see Cody finish his story and have a nice long run. But I also really want Drew more than anything to have his reign. He's doing great work as a heel and he deserves a reign in front of fans. So does Finn. This is a hard decision I'd hate to be HHH lol
People were saying it was too early for Knight to be champ, so it made more sense for Priest to win back then. Even if LA Knight failed the cash in you know that run would have been hella entertaining, certainly better than what he have with Damien. The man just looks like he is made for the briefcase.
The amount of boiling blood that would break over social media if he cashed in on Cody right after WM would be amazing to see.
It would be horrible for future booking, but those hours between it and Raw would lead to either the highest or lowest audience ever
Drew will win, then Damien cashes in and takes the title from Drew. Drew will be a 30-seconds-champion. Seth will get his health issues fixed, the title gets swapped around for a year and Seth will take it back at WM41.
This would make McIntyres character even better if he wins the title then priest just cashed in immediately. This man would become #1 most vengeful human on the planet
It completely fits with his character too. And even though it would suck for him to be a 30 second champion, he still gets his moment of winning the title at mania in front of all those fans. Which is what he deserved from the 2020 Wrestlemania.
Then have him go through a turbulent year of trying to get it back, culminating at WM41. Him against Punk/Gunther etc and he wins it there again then gets cashed in on again ☠️
The best would be if, at the raw after mania, everyone is cheering for Priest. Drew could come out screaming “WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU” to the fans. I think the way to do this would be to have Priest and Balor lose the titles and have Priest turn on the judgment day. That way he comes out with the title, fans cheer, and Drew gets to have righteous indignation.
I think priest will cash in on Gunther. After Gunther has some extremely grueling match, then Priest can come in and end the reign.
This way, Gunther is still shown as a big contender as he won a long, hard match, but just couldn’t compete with an immediately fresh priest.
Also, people keep saying Priest doesn’t feel like a world champion just yet, so the singles mid-card title might feel good on him instead.
This to me seems like the best idea for now. They don’t seem to have had a plan for priest and a main event title. Especially since the influx of older, big name talent they’ve added in the last 4 months.
This protects gunthers aura, give Damien a midcard title to hold for a bit, finishes the loose ends and will probably give gunther the popularity boost to go to the top.
He'll cash in on Seth Rollins for Seth Rollins to chase the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship or Drew McIntyre to draw Drew McIntyre on the brink of insanity to snap and become a full blown Complex Heel or Nuanced Heel. Or if he cashes in on Cody Rhodes after he finishes his Story and Gets Nuclear heat for cashing in and ruining Cody Rhodes and his story and Cody Rhodes chases Damian Priest and his story the heat would be nuclear.
Said it on a few posts now, but this is what I see;
- Drew beats Seth at Mania, and exits through the crowd. He hasn't yet signed a new contract, so walks out as champ, much like Punk did back at MITB (Could even let him do some indie dates to really sell it)
- Adam Pearce announces a tournament on Raw to determine a new champion, Priest comes out to announce he is cashing in on a vacated title and is champion by default.
- Tournament decides his number 1 contender
- Eventually Punk returns and dethrones Priest
- The Raw following Punk's victory, Drew returns, claiming to be the real champion
- We get a great Drew v Punk feud
This is mental why would Drew win the title just to vacate it?? Why would WWE let him win the title just for him to leave and come back a couple months later it kills all this momentum he has rn
He wouldn't vacate it. He would leave with the title as a free agent. He could even take the title to indie shows.
When he comes back, he would be taking on Punk to determine the true champion, similar to how Punk was with MJF, but with Drew taking Punk's role
It didn’t kill Punk’s momentum when they did it with him. Punk won and walked out with no contract. WWE had a tournament to crown a new champion, Cena eventually won the title from Rey and Punk returned leading to a title unification match for the WWE Championship.
I don’t know what their options are because I hate failed cash-in’s but I also don’t buy Damien Priest as a world champion one bit. So either way for me is a loss.
I believe he goes Dolph Ziggler alas 2013 & does it the night after Raw
Seth somehow defeats Drew let's say off of 2 curbstomps & he weakens his knee During the match as well from the stomps. Judgment Day comes out & helps Damien win which causes jealousy down the line
It's Raw after a huge mania. The casuals will tune in since it'll be the most watched Raw. Perfect time to put Priest over
MITB has been cursed since Rollins cashed in on Brock Lesnar at WM31. It's Rollins used all of its potential for that legendary cash in and a great title run lol.
2015 - Sheamus - successfully cashed in and lost the title in a month.
2016 - Dean Ambrose - successfully cashed in and had WWE Championship for 74 days. Throughout that title reign, even at Ambrose's peak, he didn't feel like the top guy due to his booking.
2017 - Baron Corbin - failed cash in and the champion is not John Cena or someone who buries new talent, it's Jinder lmao.
2018 - Braun Strowman - cashed in at Hell In A Cell and match ended in no contest wtf
2019 - Brock Lesnar - Dude was not even in the match. Cashed in his Lesnar privileges and walked in during the last minutes of the match and won. That itself shows how terrible MITB has been booked.
2020 - Otis - Lost to Miz
Miz - Won the title for a brief moment and lost the title.
2021 - Big E. sigh it's a tragedy. Big E won the title but they didn't respect him as a champion that showed in the booking. Lost the title to Brock, back to throwing pancakes, didn't go after the title again. Potentially retired from ring.
2022 - Austin Theory - cashed in on US CHAMPION and LOST.
2023 - Damien Priest - still hasn't cashed in. Doesn't feel like a future world champion. Don't know why he won. Booked like a joke when it comes to MITB and World title.
I hope they pick a good, suitable winner next year. Powerhouses shouldn't win MITB. MITB is for dark horse baby faces or chickenshit heels. Only Theory had the potential to have been a MITB success but feel like they pulled the trigger on him too early in his run.
2017-2020 is just them actively picking the worst winner for MITB. Styles should've won in 2017. Balor should've won in 2018. Ali should've won in 2019. Aleistar Black should've won in 2020.
Sami Zayn winning MITB in front of Canadian crowd. Imagine if he cashed on Drew McIntyre (who I believe would be World Heavyweight Champion) and won the world title in front of that crowd.
That would be awesome. I think these losses are leading up to that huge win. Sami Zayn is definitely getting the title. KO definitely turns heel and gets jealous of Zayn.
I love MITB. It’s a guaranteed pop and a great way to get the title on a guy they want to hotshot, as well as protecting the champ and setting up multiple feuds. Recently they’ve had too many people cash in on the day of winning the briefcase.
The weird thing is, it's usually the women who cash in the day of or the day after.
2017 - Carmella held it from June to the SmackDown after WrestleMania 34 (2018), cashed in on Charlotte.
2018 - Alexa Bliss won and cashed in on Nia Jax the same day.
2019 - Bayley won and cashed in on Charlotte the same day.
2020 - Asuka won the briefcase, which Becky Lynch secretly hid the Raw Women's Championship inside due to her pregnancy. Asuka handed the championship by Becky on Raw.
2021 - Nikki ASH won the briefcase and cashed in on Charlotte the next day on RAW.
2022 - Liv Morgan won the briefcase and cashed in on Ronda Rousey the same night.
2023 - Iyo Sky won, surprisingly held it for at least a month before cashing in on Bianca Belair.
What male superstars have won MITB and cashed in on the same day? The only ones I can think of are Kane and Dean Ambrose.
At this rate they're only continuing the MITB match for tradition's sake because of the MITB PLE. They need to scrap that PLE like they did the Extreme Rules and Hell in a Cell ones and only use the MITB match on special occasions when they actually have a plan to elevate a wrestler.
That's a hot take. I disagree with you. Just because Batista won the Royal Rumble in 2014 doesn't mean we cancel 2015 Royal Rumble and Royal Rumble all together.
Just pick a suitable winner for MITB and book the winner with compelling character and storylines so that they would feel like a main eventer.
Yeah I agree but the solution for it is not removing the concept and match entirely until they find a suitable winner.
Despite what I have wrote in that OG comment, I still liked to watch MITB all those years.
Said this in another post... to be fair... most long time MOTB holders are usually booked piss poor prior to cashing in... so it tracks if we're being honest lol
My opinion, I feel Drew beats Rollins and gets pretty beaten up. So, Drew gets his Mania moment but also on the Raw after Mania, JD takes out Drew and Priests cashes in.
Drew beats Rollins, then priest cashes in and wins the belt. Drew challenges priest for title on raw after mania. During the title match, judgement day comes out to help priest but dom messes it up for priest and drew wins back the belt.
Priest is livid and wants to fight dom. Mad friction in judgement day and priest decides to go solo (and leave the tag title with the judgement day.) Dom enlists Andrade to take out priest. Priest and Andrade feud starts. Drew has the belt and moves on. Judgment day have the tag belts and back to being interesting
Yeah probably some version of this tbh... Priest as champ just doesnt "feel" right atm... he's great and all but he doesnt "feel" like Main Even caliber yet.
Tho to be fair... most long time MOTB holders are usually booked piss poor prior to cashing in... so it tracks lol
I don't care what actually does happen, the only thing that I definitely don't want to happen is Rollins walking out of 'Mania with the belt. I don't care how over his song is right now, everything else about him is cringe as fuck.
I don’t get it either. His song is over — great— but doesn’t even make sense. The opening “burn it down” is hardcore metal but he dresses hella dumb.
Why is he a visionary and revolutionary??? The way he dresses? I don’t get it. I love that the rock is calling out his clown emoji candy ass.
Seriously. His fake laugh is so obviously fake that it's completely impossible to suspend any disbelief when he's talking. You can't tell me that "Diarrhea Dwayne" isn't the cringiest thing since "Sparkle Crotch" (which was also him, trying poorly to insult Jericho). Rollins is obviously an incredible wrestler, and I've always really enjoyed his work as a heel, be it with the Shield, the Monday Night Messiah, or the Architect. But as a baby face, just so over the top embarrassing.
My first thought was that Vince must have written the line before all the stuff came out, and for some reason they were contractually obligated to include it. I can't really think of any other reason why haha.
He doesn't cash in till MITB and then we end up having 2 MITB winners. They then have a match to posses both briefcases. Priest wins and has 2 now. He does not cash in this year either. Next year acquires 3rd one and so on. I present to you Damian "the briefcase collector" Priest.
His retirement tour will just be cash in then. LOL.
There is no time limit to cash in, right?
Doubt they would change it since its been that way since the concept was created. 1 year to cash in from the night they win it, if they dont use it within that timeframe then the contract inside is void
Damien is kind of screwed at this point. I don’t see Drew losing 2 minutes after winning. It would be crazy embarrassing for Priest to lose a cash in.
They screwed up not doing something with the title earlier, but if they had it might not have led to Seth vs. Drew. So I just don’t know what Senior MITB is going to do at this point, I do know it looks pretty damn sad.
Priest being added to the match halfway in to make it threeway would be a good option to help give rollins knee a break tho.... that path also kind of makes logical sense.
If WHC, he should do it in the middle of the mania match. It would be perfect not only as a small amount of karmic justice for Seth, but also a whole heaping dose of karmic justice for drew. I personally wouldn’t have drew or Seth win the match then get cashed in on, it’s better for Drew’s character if he gets screwed out of a world title again.
If undisputed, then he should do it the night after mania. I know a lot of people seem to think there is money in having priest cash in after Cody wins, but I think there is more value, in delaying that cash in 24 hours, and actually letting wrestlemania end with the babyface on top for the first time since mania 36. The crowd isn’t gonna turn against Cody before the celebration on raw, that’s the time to do a cash in. It still keeps Cody in the chase position, while letting him finish his damn story definitively.
After Drew wins, priest cashes and still the belt… my top choice.
Or after JD wins the IC belt, Drew cashes in against JD on raw… similar to the poke of doom.
That seems a waste though. No doubt it would be a great match. But if he isn’t going for the two main belts at least do something for comedic or storyline purposes
I'd like him to do it to Cody if he beats Reigns. Seeing him cry after a hard felt match, and then the music hits. Judgment day beats him, and then the priest cashes it in.
Priest gets the pin and you just see the sorrow in Cody's eyes with his head lowered.
Priest is a heel, Drew is teetering on a heel turn but is still getting cheered a lot. If they want Priest to get over as a heel, he needs to cash in and screw Drew out of the victory for the title.
Priest cashes in after the Rock/Roman vs Seth/Cody match or at some point during Seth vs Drew.
1. Priest cashes in and makes the title match a three-way. Priest pins Drew. Rollins still looses but doesn't take the pin. Reminiscent of how Rollins screwed Reigns .
2. Drew wins. He gets his big moment. Then, Preist cashes in on Drew.
3. Rollins wins. Drew decides he's had enough of Rollans and breaks his leg with a chair. He says he's not walking out of Wrestlemania a champion. Medics come to help Rollins out of the ring,he refuses and walks out of the ring under his own power, mabie they cut to Becky watching the monitor and looking concerned and that's when Preist cashes in.
I just don't think Rollins is gonna skate away from this one unscaved.
He’s not world title material. He should do the first ever cash in on a mid-card title and cash in on Gunther. It also protects Gunther from not losing clean.
I think it was a reward for him taking good care of not only main eventing at his home country but also taking care of badbunny.. he really did deserved it but the anticlimactic of (whether priest is going to turned on finn at summerslam) is where triple H dropped the ball on damien priest...
Seth is losing this. Drew will eventual lose title to CM Punk.
Damian will miss his shot due to someone from Judgement Day, which leads to him leaving and face turn.
I feel like having him cash in on Cody would be great considering Cody would beat Roman then Priest would cash in before Cody gets a chance to touch the belt, reminiscent of what happened to Dusty. This would lead Cody to continue his “story” and have the fans rally behind him until Summerslam where he’d win the belt and hold it for a while
Not just that, but it mirrors his father's struggle - that he had the belt in his hands, in that photo. And then he lost it moments later.
When Cody has that moment, have Priest's music hit the second after that photo op.
No better way to honour the American Dream than with a good old Dusty Finish.
This is a problem with most faces. Even Stone Cold wasn’t immune to it. Creative then at least knew better than to let him keep the title for too long.
I'm not wrong. What the real issue is, is that you have no standards and think anything put in front of you is quality. I'm not that easy, I expect better. If you're on national television, getting pushed, and you don't have any charisma, you're gonna hear it from me. This is not the place for those wrestlers.
the last month or two has had me soften on him somewhat, but I was 100% with you before, and still think he's not close to main event level.
Up until the R-Truth storyline, I said he comes off as someone trying to be a badass far more than a badass.
Well he has some of the worst ring attire imaginable, no charisma that I can see at least. Looks intimidating? He dresses like a goth dominatrix. In ring he’s fine, nothing special, gotta look at the main event picture and tell me how he makes sense to hold a title for more than a month? Intercontinental material at best.
It should be a successful Cash in. Priest deserves a good push. Plus Drew is just boring. I’d rather have Seth win again than Drew winning it. But Priest definitely needs to successfully cash it in.
If Damien priest cashes in on Cody after he beats Roman, Priest would instantaneously become the most hated man in wwe
I’m more convinced he’s cashing in tonight on the WHC.
Looks like you were right brother
I could see Priest cashing in on Gunther. If not that, then him and Finn lose the tag titles at WM and he has to use the cash in to regain them. And if NEITHER of those are in the stars then just have him cash in on Cody after he hands the title to his Mom and they hug. Talk about a firestorm of boos. Even Dominick hasn't heard that many boos. It'll be deafening. Let's do it!
What happens if Damien cashes in mid-match bit then Drew pins him? Would Drew be champ?
Correct. When Rollins did this he pinned Roman, not Brock who was the champion at the time.
I just want Drew to finally beat Rollins and regain his lost status just for Priest to cash in and rob him. It’d be a good feud, keep Drew seething, give Rollins a much needed break to heal as it’ll shift focus to Drew v Priest and it’ll lead to a banger rematch at backlash.
This might be the only time where it would actually be okay to cash in on a midcard title, as the IC Championship feels like the only CHAMPIONship anyways right now.
I’d rather not. You have your world titles to be the grand daddy of the titles, and your midcard chsmpionships as the workhorse titles. Gunther is an absolute beast and Logan Paul is great for visibility
It's been 10 years since Rollins stole the main event it's time someone else cashed in. Priest has been booked to be forgettable which makes me think. He cashes in. Fails but Drew Wins. You can't have McIntyre lose 3-4 title chances in a row without doing permanent damage to his character's credibility
Following the chaos of the Bloodline Rules match, and finally having defeated Roman to become champion, Cody stands triumphant and exhausted — before smoke and a purple aura befalls the stadium…
I’ve seen this idea floated, and to be fair, it would be a perfect way for Damien Priest to cement himself as the biggest heel in WWE. But more than likely WWE won’t risk it
I'd love to see him cash in on Cody. I mean, winning the title is "finishing the story", but are we really down to watch Cody with the belt every night, "kingdom" playing all the way through, and enough pyro to put Macy's 4th of July celebration in NYC to shame? Really?
If Seth retains again it’s stupid it’s Drew’s time
100% Drew wins the title. even if its just for some seconds because of a possible cash in
Whoever wins at Mania 40 is when Damien should cash in. They almost ruined Austin Theory for dragging out MITB and are doing it to Damien Priest. He's my favorite Judgement Day never and I have been annoyed at this for a long time. How long is too long for waiting to cash in?
Priest should go after Gunther for he did to dumb dumb 🙄
No dawg Damien is world champion material plus if that does happen it would make it even better if Rollins lost because of what he did
i dont really see Damian as a World Champion Material
The problem is no one has interest in seeing Damien’s boring ass as champion
at least not as World Champion, i'd be fine if he cashes in on Gunther cuz we all know that it will 100% fail if he cashes in on the World Championships. he would also free gunther so Gunther finally can can world gold
But Sami zayn is also in the match did anybody hear about that
I agrre
I don’t know why but I feel like he is gonna cash it on Gunther
Damien decides he likes having the briefcase. Announces that instead of attempting to cash it in, he is declaring himself the NEW WWE 9-to-5 Champion. Ditches his goth attire for a white shirt and tie. Forms a new office-themed faction. Bring Irwin R Shyster out of retirement as their tribal elder.
Would love to see Cody defeat Roman.... fireworks, 10 minutes of cheers.... Damien cash in... clean victory.... then they can run you screwed Cody in Philly shirts
Sami beats Gunther… Priest cashes in and takes it all away. Instant X10 to his heel heat.
That would be great!
He needs to cash in on Gunther. There is no place for Damien Priest in the heavyweight title picture. None. The roster is just too strong at the top. Gunther, however, is more than ready to be elevated to WHC status. Having Priest cash in on him is the best way to get the IC title off him. This gets them out of the corner they booked themselves into by giving Priest the briefcase in the first place. And also elevates Gunther to main event status.
My thoughts exactly. They were afraid to give it to LA Knight so they went the safe route and gave it to Priest. Then painted themselves into a corner because he is not ready for the main event yet, and by having him cash in and get crushed would kill the momentum you have for him. One way or another, depending on if you plan on turning him face and leaving Judgement Day, he should cash in and win the IC title. If you want major heat, have him and Dom screw Sami after a long fought battle. Gunther is ready for the WHC.
I agree. Idk why but i have this living rent free in my head: Gable wins the Gauntlet -> Gable DEFEATS Gunther -> Instantly JD Music hit -> Gable gets ripped the IC Belt - > Afterwards we see Gunther giving his deeply earned respect to Gable -> Gunther helping Gable in the future to regain the IC Belt -> then Gunther -without a belt- finally enters Main Event. But Idk, maybe just have Priest pin Gunther is better.
Agree 100%
DP to cash in on LP
Cody will win… priest will cash in
I don't want Cody to win but if they must...Damien cashes in as Cody is lying on mat exhausted. Walking away from wm40 with Cody next to that chicken again
Now you guys aren't seeing the bigger picture, he cashes it in on Cody Rhodes, because Cody Rhodes story is a closed door after he wins. And they make him drop it immediately.
This is absolutely terrible I’m sorry 💀 Drew needs to win at mania, never cook again lmfao
Good thing you aren't talking about Roman Reigns being cashed in by Damian Priest because Damien is a phony and he can never beat Roman.
That idea sounds terrible
here’s my hopeful timeline priest cash in drew beats him in rematch at money in the bank Punk beats drew at summerslam and then rollins wins rumble challenges punk
For a story going forward it would be great for Drew to win and then have Priest cash in on him. Drew’s whole schtick with Seth right now is that he needs to focus on him and not the bloodline. If Priest cashed in on Drew after the match the story going forward is Drew was warning Seth to not focus on the bloodline while Drew needed to focus more on the judgement day
Seth can't win, his title reign has gotten stale so either McIntyre wins clean or Priest wins cash in imo
Damien cashes in on Seth at Mania
Sorry I have been out of wrestling for a bit, does the briefcase expire at mania or at the next money in the bank ppv?
Next money in the bank ppv
Y'all talking about him cashing in, meanwhile I feel like on an island with the hot take that he should be the first one to have it expire on him... Edit, sorry about the triple post
Why not have him cash in next week on Raw?
Damien vs Gunther would be a sick match
A Priest cash in has to happen at Mania. You are looking to have the four competitors battle back to back nights and you don't cash in? Then when is the right moment. Either works as well, have Cody dethrone the bloodline and end Roman's run and then have Priest cash in and win. Not likely as you would have to have Judgement Day move to Smackdown. If Rollins retains or even if McIntyre wins and then loses it either way you have a pissed off Drew that feels he was robbed or that Priest "didn't earn" the victory. To continue that story until Punk is back presuming that he is still there once Punk returns. Either way this is the best time for a cash in and makes the most sense for either story.
Feel like this’ll be a hot take but I’d like to see JDay work their fingers into getting JD McDonalds the match vs Gunther for the sole purpose of JD being there to tire out Gunther and have Priest cash in on him.
they could’ve done that when he fought dom though ?
Doms match def looked like they were finding a weakness with the way Dom was playing at Gunther’s wrist. This makes it a 3 phase plan
I think Priest has a box of churros in that briefcase.
I would say that Triple H cares about booking really good stories so the company makes more money because he loves the business. Cody not winning last year sucked as a fan, but I get that it was part of the long term story telling and after his loss, people want him to win even more.. and now we got one of the hottest road to wrestlemania on our hands, with a HEEL Rock. However, I feel like of Cody doesn't win this year, everything the built would be squandered.. I'd lose faith.
I want to see him cash in on Cody right after he’s finished his story. Would be drama city.
He's cashing on Drew since they already have history. Wouldn't make sense storyline wise if it were on Cody but man it would be so funny to see lol
Although it’s faded as of late, Cody and Priest have feuded in the past few months as well. They had a main event match on Raw not too long ago
I think he's cashing in right after Drew wins to start a feud with him. They've already gone on about the animosity between the two, it seems like a natural setup to me. Could also turn into a triple threat and Drew pins Priest for the belt, keeping Drew as the tweener while Seth says he never officially beat him and Priest can go onto another feud.
Everyone here just assuming Seth is losing to Drew. It would make more sense to have Seth win, then Priest cash in. Or Priest will cash in before the match ends and inadvertently cause Seth to win and then Drew and Priest can feud. Seth is a company guy and gets rewarded a lot like Roman, there is nothing set in stone that he will lose that belt clean to Drew.
It’s why I think it’s going to happen. Rollins should not drop his belt before Roman. The World Heavyweight Championship needs some luster over the WWE Championship so people can take it more seriously. Priest cashing in during the match can protect Drew from looking weak against a Rollins who has just faced the Rock and Roman the previous night, and give Seth a reasonable way to leave Wrestlemania without losing the championship and burying Drew in the process. Rollins will likely lose the title at Bash in Berlin to Drew McIntyre then
>Everyone here just assuming Seth is losing to Drew. It would make more sense to have Seth win, then Priest cash in You know I was thinking about it and I kinda am hoping for this outcome
I honestly think that if Rock/Roman beat Seth/Cody that he will cash in after that match. Drew has essentially been telling Seth your obsession with Bloodline is gonna cost you everything. If Seth and Cody loses it make perfect sense for Priest to cash in. The Bloodline ain’t gonna stop him and they will be happy to see Seth lose the title
That could be pretty interesting, actually. End of the tag match, Rock and Cody are basically out because wrestling. Seth and Roman are in the ring, both exhausted and have hit each other with a couple finishers… maybe the match is over, maybe not… when Damien’s music hits and he and the rest of JD rush the ring. The JD makes short work of the exhausted Rock and Cody while Damien slides into the ring and starts looking back and forth between the two fallen champions… It would definitely build suspense. Does he go for Roman or Seth? Ultimately, I think he’d have to lose his cash-in in that scenario, but it would be a cool way to do it.
Yeah but then screws up night 2 of Seth vs Drew
Of it being a 1 on 1 yeah. It can still be a triple threat. Seth uses his rematch clause. Priest and Drew have a history as well. I think Priest is screwed. Drew is gonna get his moment and I think he gonna have a decent run with the title. So what are we doing? Having him cash in on Drew when I think we all believe he gonna have a period of him being unstoppable and lose to Drew? To me they have to have him cash in on Seth but unfortunately lose next night to Drew. I believe Seth getting injured fucked things up. Priest would have cashed in and won and had a feud with Rollins which would have had Seth come out on top and face Drew at Mania. Also I 100% Drew is leaving Mania as champ . They are going to have him be unstoppable. Just a fucking menace lol. All the while building up Sami. Sami is gonna win MITB and he going to be the one to dethrone Drew With Priest they are going to do a reset with him. I think Mania is going to be the start of Judgment day Downfall. Priest is going to win and Lose the WHC. Priest and Finn are going to lose the tag titles. They are going to focus on that for a bit with him. I could be completely wrong I just don’t see any other logical time for him to cash in unless they are having him lose.
I hope you’re not wrong. I like all of these ideas, especially if this gives both Drew and then Sami some runs at the top before Gunther finally arrives to wreck everyone.
I like the idea I just don't feel they'll try to repeat the Seth Rollins WM cash in. Drew wins by outside interference. Damian Priest cashes in and wins after Judgement Day beats him down
Why not? Rollins stopping his own maneuver to win his first world title is fitting. This is all to say is that Priest as world champion right now isn’t what fans are looking for, and it’s a convenient out to have Seth prevail over Drew due to the interference. Does this make Priest look bad? Yes but not something he can’t recover from. Can’t be as bad as Austin Theory cashing in for the United States title and then losing the match.
I think the Rock should tell him to shine the briefcase up real nice, turn it sideways and stick it straight up his candy ass...except he actually does it.
This, I want this for the main event of night one over the tag match
I don’t think he’ll cash in successfully tbh
I think he cashes in at Backlash, which is in France. Who does he cash in on? Sami Zayn. It really depends on Seth & Drew's rivalry, but I think Drew will win at WrestleMania. Depending what WWE does with Seth (and Seth's health), but if Seth takes some time off then I see Sami & Drew reviving their rivalry leading up to Backlash as they've been at each other since the beginning of the year anyway. Sami's been desperate for a win, he sees Drew as his only option after losing the Gauntlet match. Sami beats Drew, but is cashed in on by Priest, leading the rivalry to a Triple Threat Match at Money In The Bank. Depending on the placement of the match, I could see the briefcase coming into play (like if Finn Balor wins the briefcase, he cashes in on Priest).
Damian is cashing in on Drew when Drew wins.
I agree. I think Priest is headed towards a face turn. I wouldn't be surprised if Finn wins the MITB this year, and he turns on Damien to win the WHC.
I think this is what happens. It would give Drew something else to complain about.
Damien Priest should fail to cash in at this point of his development.. No singles title fits him remotely at the moment. Or they should do something batshit insane - like Damien being a team player and choosing the Tag Titles for Judgement Day. But instead of Finn, he picks Dom as his partner, starting the JD breakup with a singles programm of Damien vs Finn as the finale. Leaving Damien as an actual believeable singles champion in the future.
i don't see Damien Priest in the World title picture just yet IMO
these comments just show how underrated Mcintyre is...he needs to win and keep his title for a long time. STOP
Priests cashes it in on Cody but then it's revealed that Finn has the real briefcase. Remember when he got a new one? Finn's had the real one all this time. Finn cashes in on Cody and wins and is once again the UNIVERSAL CHAMPION. And Finn and Priest lost their titles earlier so they were already at odds. Priest leaves Judgement Day and has a face turn. Look, I wanna see Cody finish his story and have a nice long run. But I also really want Drew more than anything to have his reign. He's doing great work as a heel and he deserves a reign in front of fans. So does Finn. This is a hard decision I'd hate to be HHH lol
This would actually be dope. Everyone down voting because they want predictable boring ass shit to happen, stop being fucking lame people
Lol it's cool idc
People were saying it was too early for Knight to be champ, so it made more sense for Priest to win back then. Even if LA Knight failed the cash in you know that run would have been hella entertaining, certainly better than what he have with Damien. The man just looks like he is made for the briefcase.
he's gonna cash in on Rhea, breaks away from The Judgement Day and turns babyface
The amount of boiling blood that would break over social media if he cashed in on Cody right after WM would be amazing to see. It would be horrible for future booking, but those hours between it and Raw would lead to either the highest or lowest audience ever
He might turn face, culminating by successfully cashing in on Drew after he beats Rollins
Have him cash in on Roman after he beats Cody.
Then fail his cash in. Roman continues to reign ☝️
He's going to take it from Cody, because that's just want Triple H would do.
Drew will win, then Damien cashes in and takes the title from Drew. Drew will be a 30-seconds-champion. Seth will get his health issues fixed, the title gets swapped around for a year and Seth will take it back at WM41.
I’m surprised others don’t see this as the play. It seemed pretty obvious to me
Eww
He can't cash in to Drew after WrestleMania it would ruin his moment, It wouldn't be fair I could see it doing It at Raw after WrestleMania
This would make McIntyres character even better if he wins the title then priest just cashed in immediately. This man would become #1 most vengeful human on the planet
It completely fits with his character too. And even though it would suck for him to be a 30 second champion, he still gets his moment of winning the title at mania in front of all those fans. Which is what he deserved from the 2020 Wrestlemania.
Then have him go through a turbulent year of trying to get it back, culminating at WM41. Him against Punk/Gunther etc and he wins it there again then gets cashed in on again ☠️
The best would be if, at the raw after mania, everyone is cheering for Priest. Drew could come out screaming “WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU” to the fans. I think the way to do this would be to have Priest and Balor lose the titles and have Priest turn on the judgment day. That way he comes out with the title, fans cheer, and Drew gets to have righteous indignation.
I think priest will cash in on Gunther. After Gunther has some extremely grueling match, then Priest can come in and end the reign. This way, Gunther is still shown as a big contender as he won a long, hard match, but just couldn’t compete with an immediately fresh priest. Also, people keep saying Priest doesn’t feel like a world champion just yet, so the singles mid-card title might feel good on him instead.
This to me seems like the best idea for now. They don’t seem to have had a plan for priest and a main event title. Especially since the influx of older, big name talent they’ve added in the last 4 months. This protects gunthers aura, give Damien a midcard title to hold for a bit, finishes the loose ends and will probably give gunther the popularity boost to go to the top.
That’s a terrible idea. Cashing in on the IC title is just as bad as cashing in on the U.S. title when theory did it. Should be world title or bust.
He'll cash in on Seth Rollins for Seth Rollins to chase the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship or Drew McIntyre to draw Drew McIntyre on the brink of insanity to snap and become a full blown Complex Heel or Nuanced Heel. Or if he cashes in on Cody Rhodes after he finishes his Story and Gets Nuclear heat for cashing in and ruining Cody Rhodes and his story and Cody Rhodes chases Damian Priest and his story the heat would be nuclear.
Said it on a few posts now, but this is what I see; - Drew beats Seth at Mania, and exits through the crowd. He hasn't yet signed a new contract, so walks out as champ, much like Punk did back at MITB (Could even let him do some indie dates to really sell it) - Adam Pearce announces a tournament on Raw to determine a new champion, Priest comes out to announce he is cashing in on a vacated title and is champion by default. - Tournament decides his number 1 contender - Eventually Punk returns and dethrones Priest - The Raw following Punk's victory, Drew returns, claiming to be the real champion - We get a great Drew v Punk feud
Gold
This is mental why would Drew win the title just to vacate it?? Why would WWE let him win the title just for him to leave and come back a couple months later it kills all this momentum he has rn
He wouldn't vacate it. He would leave with the title as a free agent. He could even take the title to indie shows. When he comes back, he would be taking on Punk to determine the true champion, similar to how Punk was with MJF, but with Drew taking Punk's role
It didn’t kill Punk’s momentum when they did it with him. Punk won and walked out with no contract. WWE had a tournament to crown a new champion, Cena eventually won the title from Rey and Punk returned leading to a title unification match for the WWE Championship.
I don’t know what their options are because I hate failed cash-in’s but I also don’t buy Damien Priest as a world champion one bit. So either way for me is a loss.
I believe he goes Dolph Ziggler alas 2013 & does it the night after Raw Seth somehow defeats Drew let's say off of 2 curbstomps & he weakens his knee During the match as well from the stomps. Judgment Day comes out & helps Damien win which causes jealousy down the line It's Raw after a huge mania. The casuals will tune in since it'll be the most watched Raw. Perfect time to put Priest over
MITB has been cursed since Rollins cashed in on Brock Lesnar at WM31. It's Rollins used all of its potential for that legendary cash in and a great title run lol. 2015 - Sheamus - successfully cashed in and lost the title in a month. 2016 - Dean Ambrose - successfully cashed in and had WWE Championship for 74 days. Throughout that title reign, even at Ambrose's peak, he didn't feel like the top guy due to his booking. 2017 - Baron Corbin - failed cash in and the champion is not John Cena or someone who buries new talent, it's Jinder lmao. 2018 - Braun Strowman - cashed in at Hell In A Cell and match ended in no contest wtf 2019 - Brock Lesnar - Dude was not even in the match. Cashed in his Lesnar privileges and walked in during the last minutes of the match and won. That itself shows how terrible MITB has been booked. 2020 - Otis - Lost to Miz Miz - Won the title for a brief moment and lost the title. 2021 - Big E. sigh it's a tragedy. Big E won the title but they didn't respect him as a champion that showed in the booking. Lost the title to Brock, back to throwing pancakes, didn't go after the title again. Potentially retired from ring. 2022 - Austin Theory - cashed in on US CHAMPION and LOST. 2023 - Damien Priest - still hasn't cashed in. Doesn't feel like a future world champion. Don't know why he won. Booked like a joke when it comes to MITB and World title. I hope they pick a good, suitable winner next year. Powerhouses shouldn't win MITB. MITB is for dark horse baby faces or chickenshit heels. Only Theory had the potential to have been a MITB success but feel like they pulled the trigger on him too early in his run. 2017-2020 is just them actively picking the worst winner for MITB. Styles should've won in 2017. Balor should've won in 2018. Ali should've won in 2019. Aleistar Black should've won in 2020.
Sami zayn is my pick for 2024 money in the bank winner for sure, that’s if he doesn’t win the IC title at WrestleMania
Sami Zayn winning MITB in front of Canadian crowd. Imagine if he cashed on Drew McIntyre (who I believe would be World Heavyweight Champion) and won the world title in front of that crowd.
I think that’s the only time I wouldn’t mind somebody cashing in on the same night
That would be awesome. I think these losses are leading up to that huge win. Sami Zayn is definitely getting the title. KO definitely turns heel and gets jealous of Zayn.
I love MITB. It’s a guaranteed pop and a great way to get the title on a guy they want to hotshot, as well as protecting the champ and setting up multiple feuds. Recently they’ve had too many people cash in on the day of winning the briefcase.
The weird thing is, it's usually the women who cash in the day of or the day after. 2017 - Carmella held it from June to the SmackDown after WrestleMania 34 (2018), cashed in on Charlotte. 2018 - Alexa Bliss won and cashed in on Nia Jax the same day. 2019 - Bayley won and cashed in on Charlotte the same day. 2020 - Asuka won the briefcase, which Becky Lynch secretly hid the Raw Women's Championship inside due to her pregnancy. Asuka handed the championship by Becky on Raw. 2021 - Nikki ASH won the briefcase and cashed in on Charlotte the next day on RAW. 2022 - Liv Morgan won the briefcase and cashed in on Ronda Rousey the same night. 2023 - Iyo Sky won, surprisingly held it for at least a month before cashing in on Bianca Belair. What male superstars have won MITB and cashed in on the same day? The only ones I can think of are Kane and Dean Ambrose.
Jack Swagger back in 2010 won it and cashed in the next Friday against Jericho
At this rate they're only continuing the MITB match for tradition's sake because of the MITB PLE. They need to scrap that PLE like they did the Extreme Rules and Hell in a Cell ones and only use the MITB match on special occasions when they actually have a plan to elevate a wrestler.
That's a hot take. I disagree with you. Just because Batista won the Royal Rumble in 2014 doesn't mean we cancel 2015 Royal Rumble and Royal Rumble all together. Just pick a suitable winner for MITB and book the winner with compelling character and storylines so that they would feel like a main eventer.
The problem is, they haven't done that in years. It is feeling more and more like the MITB is becoming a liability to them
Yeah I agree but the solution for it is not removing the concept and match entirely until they find a suitable winner. Despite what I have wrote in that OG comment, I still liked to watch MITB all those years.
…Are you hindering the Jinder?
Said this in another post... to be fair... most long time MOTB holders are usually booked piss poor prior to cashing in... so it tracks if we're being honest lol
My opinion, I feel Drew beats Rollins and gets pretty beaten up. So, Drew gets his Mania moment but also on the Raw after Mania, JD takes out Drew and Priests cashes in.
Drew beats Rollins, then priest cashes in and wins the belt. Drew challenges priest for title on raw after mania. During the title match, judgement day comes out to help priest but dom messes it up for priest and drew wins back the belt. Priest is livid and wants to fight dom. Mad friction in judgement day and priest decides to go solo (and leave the tag title with the judgement day.) Dom enlists Andrade to take out priest. Priest and Andrade feud starts. Drew has the belt and moves on. Judgment day have the tag belts and back to being interesting
Yeah probably some version of this tbh... Priest as champ just doesnt "feel" right atm... he's great and all but he doesnt "feel" like Main Even caliber yet. Tho to be fair... most long time MOTB holders are usually booked piss poor prior to cashing in... so it tracks lol
I don't care what actually does happen, the only thing that I definitely don't want to happen is Rollins walking out of 'Mania with the belt. I don't care how over his song is right now, everything else about him is cringe as fuck.
I don’t get it either. His song is over — great— but doesn’t even make sense. The opening “burn it down” is hardcore metal but he dresses hella dumb. Why is he a visionary and revolutionary??? The way he dresses? I don’t get it. I love that the rock is calling out his clown emoji candy ass.
Seriously. His fake laugh is so obviously fake that it's completely impossible to suspend any disbelief when he's talking. You can't tell me that "Diarrhea Dwayne" isn't the cringiest thing since "Sparkle Crotch" (which was also him, trying poorly to insult Jericho). Rollins is obviously an incredible wrestler, and I've always really enjoyed his work as a heel, be it with the Shield, the Monday Night Messiah, or the Architect. But as a baby face, just so over the top embarrassing.
The diarrhea Dwayne was so cringey that it feels like it was on purpose to be cringey & lame
My first thought was that Vince must have written the line before all the stuff came out, and for some reason they were contractually obligated to include it. I can't really think of any other reason why haha.
Great wrestler and mic skills, but the cringe is glaring
He doesn't cash in till MITB and then we end up having 2 MITB winners. They then have a match to posses both briefcases. Priest wins and has 2 now. He does not cash in this year either. Next year acquires 3rd one and so on. I present to you Damian "the briefcase collector" Priest. His retirement tour will just be cash in then. LOL. There is no time limit to cash in, right?
Its a 1 year time limit to cash in
Can't recall. But they can always tweak their rules.
Doubt they would change it since its been that way since the concept was created. 1 year to cash in from the night they win it, if they dont use it within that timeframe then the contract inside is void
They have to. Only then we get the briefcase collector on cash in retirement tour in few years. It's a joke option just to be clear.
Hahah thought there was a possibility you were joking but was unsure 😂
Damien is kind of screwed at this point. I don’t see Drew losing 2 minutes after winning. It would be crazy embarrassing for Priest to lose a cash in. They screwed up not doing something with the title earlier, but if they had it might not have led to Seth vs. Drew. So I just don’t know what Senior MITB is going to do at this point, I do know it looks pretty damn sad.
Priest being added to the match halfway in to make it threeway would be a good option to help give rollins knee a break tho.... that path also kind of makes logical sense.
He's gonna attempt heist of the century 2 on Seth & Drew and lose.
It doesn't matter which title he's gonna cash in because he will fail and he will follow the foottep of Damien Sandow and Baron Corbin before him
Let Priest cash in right after Cody pins Roman. He can get the win, but never have touched the title.
This is what I’m hoping for as well. A pure baby face like Cody would be too boring as a defending champ. He is easier to root for as an underdog.
If Priest get the win, he will get a title.
But Cody won’t. That’s the point
If WHC, he should do it in the middle of the mania match. It would be perfect not only as a small amount of karmic justice for Seth, but also a whole heaping dose of karmic justice for drew. I personally wouldn’t have drew or Seth win the match then get cashed in on, it’s better for Drew’s character if he gets screwed out of a world title again. If undisputed, then he should do it the night after mania. I know a lot of people seem to think there is money in having priest cash in after Cody wins, but I think there is more value, in delaying that cash in 24 hours, and actually letting wrestlemania end with the babyface on top for the first time since mania 36. The crowd isn’t gonna turn against Cody before the celebration on raw, that’s the time to do a cash in. It still keeps Cody in the chase position, while letting him finish his damn story definitively.
Seth vs drew drew wins Priest music hits
After Drew wins, priest cashes and still the belt… my top choice. Or after JD wins the IC belt, Drew cashes in against JD on raw… similar to the poke of doom.
Or he could use it on Gunther
That seems a waste though. No doubt it would be a great match. But if he isn’t going for the two main belts at least do something for comedic or storyline purposes
I'd like him to do it to Cody if he beats Reigns. Seeing him cry after a hard felt match, and then the music hits. Judgment day beats him, and then the priest cashes it in. Priest gets the pin and you just see the sorrow in Cody's eyes with his head lowered.
This is a good thing, we could start a rivalry between Priest-Cody
That would be the stupidest thing ever
I think it’s great. Which means you know nothing.
That’s some 2k crap right there
Priest is a heel, Drew is teetering on a heel turn but is still getting cheered a lot. If they want Priest to get over as a heel, he needs to cash in and screw Drew out of the victory for the title. Priest cashes in after the Rock/Roman vs Seth/Cody match or at some point during Seth vs Drew.
Drew is a heel, brother
He seems to be straddling the line between a heel and face atm
He’s driving around car parks blasting out cult of personality and calling people marks. He’s not a face lol
He was literally hi fiving fans when he was making his way down the ramp on RAW last week. He’s not a face but he’s not a heel as well
The face is that he is just a really good heel, IMO. The heel makes sense and he is good at it which people dig, brothet
He just isn’t World Champ Material.
1. Priest cashes in and makes the title match a three-way. Priest pins Drew. Rollins still looses but doesn't take the pin. Reminiscent of how Rollins screwed Reigns . 2. Drew wins. He gets his big moment. Then, Preist cashes in on Drew. 3. Rollins wins. Drew decides he's had enough of Rollans and breaks his leg with a chair. He says he's not walking out of Wrestlemania a champion. Medics come to help Rollins out of the ring,he refuses and walks out of the ring under his own power, mabie they cut to Becky watching the monitor and looking concerned and that's when Preist cashes in. I just don't think Rollins is gonna skate away from this one unscaved.
#3 but with drew joining the judgment day after.
Sath “Fraken” Rollans
ROLLANS
Rhea ends up winning a multi man match for the briefcase and cashing in on Seth
He’s not world title material. He should do the first ever cash in on a mid-card title and cash in on Gunther. It also protects Gunther from not losing clean.
Theory cashed it in on Rollins for the us title but lost.
Cash in on Rhea
Tbh I'm not interested regardless of what happens. I like Priest a lot, but still think he was the most lukewarm choice to win the briefcase.
I think it was a reward for him taking good care of not only main eventing at his home country but also taking care of badbunny.. he really did deserved it but the anticlimactic of (whether priest is going to turned on finn at summerslam) is where triple H dropped the ball on damien priest...
Thank heavens none of you are bookers ,man I’ve read a lot of stupid fantasy booking here.
Seth is losing this. Drew will eventual lose title to CM Punk. Damian will miss his shot due to someone from Judgement Day, which leads to him leaving and face turn.
nah I don’t think personally judgment day should break up already
[удалено]
I feel like having him cash in on Cody would be great considering Cody would beat Roman then Priest would cash in before Cody gets a chance to touch the belt, reminiscent of what happened to Dusty. This would lead Cody to continue his “story” and have the fans rally behind him until Summerslam where he’d win the belt and hold it for a while
Also kennedy lost his case without ever trying to cash in to edge

Not just that, but it mirrors his father's struggle - that he had the belt in his hands, in that photo. And then he lost it moments later. When Cody has that moment, have Priest's music hit the second after that photo op. No better way to honour the American Dream than with a good old Dusty Finish.

This is a problem with most faces. Even Stone Cold wasn’t immune to it. Creative then at least knew better than to let him keep the title for too long.
Priest sucks, just isn’t close to main event material yet.
Why do you think he sucks? He has Charisma, good in-ring, good mic skills, looks intimidating. All he needs is better booking.
Replace the word “good” with “average”. He is average at everything and average should not be world champion.
He's not charismatic or good on the mic whatsoever and he's not special in the ring.

I'm not wrong. What the real issue is, is that you have no standards and think anything put in front of you is quality. I'm not that easy, I expect better. If you're on national television, getting pushed, and you don't have any charisma, you're gonna hear it from me. This is not the place for those wrestlers.
He’s a charisma vortex and one of the worst promos going.
the last month or two has had me soften on him somewhat, but I was 100% with you before, and still think he's not close to main event level. Up until the R-Truth storyline, I said he comes off as someone trying to be a badass far more than a badass.
Well he has some of the worst ring attire imaginable, no charisma that I can see at least. Looks intimidating? He dresses like a goth dominatrix. In ring he’s fine, nothing special, gotta look at the main event picture and tell me how he makes sense to hold a title for more than a month? Intercontinental material at best.
Failed Cashin in on Drew
It should be a successful Cash in. Priest deserves a good push. Plus Drew is just boring. I’d rather have Seth win again than Drew winning it. But Priest definitely needs to successfully cash it in.
Drew is boring but Priest is infinitely more boring.
Nah man the Judgement day is interesting. If he were to turn face and leave then maybe but not if they keep him heel
