In the captivating world of WWE, every twist and turn brings forth speculation and excitement. This week, former WWE head writer Vince Russo stirred the pot with a bold claim surrounding Damian Priest and Seth Rollins.
Rollins’ Raw Revelation: A Golden Chance for Priest?
As Monday Night RAW kicked off, Seth Rollins, nursing a knee injury, addressed the audience. Post-surgery, doctors recommended a three to four-month hiatus, but Rollins defied the medical advice, determined to enter WrestleMania as the World Heavyweight Champion.
Legion of RAW Insights: Russo’s Perspective
On the recent episode of Legion of RAW, Vince Russo expressed his belief that Damian Priest should have seized the moment. With the champ vulnerably sharing his post-surgery journey, Russo argued that it was the opportune time for Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract.
Russo’s Question: Why Didn’t Priest Strike During the Promo?
Russo raised a compelling question during the podcast: If Rollins wouldn’t be stripped of the title and intended to hold it for an extended period, why didn’t Damian Priest cash in at the beginning of the show?
“Well, think about it: why wouldn’t Priest have cashed it in during the promo? […] That’s what I don’t understand. If he’s not gonna be stripped of the title like they used to do. If you didn’t defend it in 30 days, you’re stripped of the title. If he’s not gonna be stripped of the title, and he’s gonna have that thing for 10 weeks, why wouldn’t Priest have cashed it in at the beginning of the show?” [From 9:50 onwards]
