Damian Priest is going to bide his time with the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Winning the briefcase back in July, Priest still is in possession of the guaranteed championship contract, even if it is now in a better-looking case. Despite teasing the cash in a couple of times on Seth Rollins, does Priest have a particular time when he wants to pull the trigger?
Speaking on The Bump, Senor Money in The Bank has stated that the Tag Team Championships are his current priority, but he is always observing the champion to look for that opportunity:
“It’s just keeping an eye out. The focus right now is keeping these [tag team titles]. But I’m always conscious, always watching the champions that are left, whatever champions are left at this point. We’re always watching, and I’m always keeping an eye to see, ‘Is today a good day? Is this a good opportunity?’ I have a whole year, so I don’t have any rush to just cash in that contract when it’s not perfect.
It has to be perfect. It has to be perfect. I’ve seen a few moments that I thought, ‘Maybe, but it’s not perfect yet.’ Right now, my focus is making sure we’re all on the same page and all champions. But when the time comes and that perfect time comes, it’ll get cashed in, and it’ll happen,”
Damian Priest still has a long way to go to break the record for most time with the briefcase, which is currently held by Carmella at 287 days.
Damian Priest Aims To Be A Double Champion
The Judgment Day member won the Tag Titles alongside Finn Balor at the Payback Premium Live Event, defeating Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a Steel City Street Fight. JD McDonagh, Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio all took advantage of the no-disqualification stipulation, being integral in allowing Priest and Balor to be victorious. Not looking to lose the titles any time soon, Priest will hope that his cash-in will be successful and he can join an exclusive group that has held two championships simultaneously in WWE.
