3 Signs Damian Priest will win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL

Damian Priest has held the title of WWE’s Mr. Money In The Bank for over nine months now. After triumphing in the July 2023 event, The Judgment Day’s Punishment has made several attempts to utilize the coveted contract but has been unsuccessful due to various obstacles. This has resulted in missed opportunities to cash in when Seth Rollins was at his most vulnerable, much to the frustration of the audience.

As the clock ticks down, The Archer of Infamy is eagerly waiting for his chance to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at WrestleMania XL. In the past few weeks, there have been subtle clues hinting towards Priest cashing in at Lincoln Financial Field, particularly during the World Heavyweight Championship match. These signs not only predict his victory, but also hint at him leaving Philadelphia as the new champion.

Based on these three indicators, it is highly likely that Damian Priest will emerge as the victor and claim the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE WrestleMania XL.

The Impact of CM Punk and The Bloodline on Damian Priest’s WrestleMania XL Match

Despite Drew McIntyre’s valid point about Seth Rollins’ divided focus during their WrestleMania feud, it seems that The Scottish Warrior also has a blind spot when it comes to his own obsession with CM Punk. Just like Rollins, who had to pull double duty in Philadelphia against both McIntyre and The Bloodline, McIntyre’s focus is also being split by his fixation on Punk.

As the World Heavyweight Championship match unfolds, the Second City Saint will provide commentary, giving him ample opportunity to interfere. Additionally, the potential interference from The Bloodline could cost Rollins the match. With these two scenarios highly likely, Damian Priest will have a clear path to cashing in and becoming the new world champion.

#2: Is Damian Priest’s Tease on WWE RAW a Hint at His Potential WrestleMania Match?

During the journey to WrestleMania XL, WWE has consistently hinted at underlying tensions within The Judgment Day. The group’s morale has been affected by a series of losses, causing its members to shift their focus towards individual endeavors. For instance, Rhea Ripley is currently occupied with her rivalry against Becky Lynch, Dominik Mysterio is engaged in a feud with Andrade El Idolo Legado Del Fantasma, and Finn Balor has taken on the role of mentor for JD McDonagh.

What is the status of Damian Priest? The Archer of Infamy has become more dissatisfied with the faction, clearly aiming for bigger opportunities. During the March 26, 2024 episode of RAW, he stated the significance of WrestleMania XL for both the group AND its members, causing surprise among many, including Rhea Ripley.

With the clock ticking, could this be Priest’s moment to shine at The Show of Shows? Did The Punishment serve as a preview of his greatest hour? This is highly probable, as Triple H and his team typically do not drop hints without a planned outcome.

WWE Clash at the Castle 2024: an opportunity for Damian Priest to shine at WrestleMania XL

WWE started off WrestleMania XL week with an exciting announcement about the comeback of Clash At The Castle PLE. The second installment of the event was revealed to be held in Drew McIntyre’s homeland of Scotland, sparking speculation among fans about his involvement in the event.

The majority of the audience interpreted it as a indication that The Scottish Warrior would defeat Seth Rollins at WrestleMania XL and claim the World Heavyweight Championship upon his return to Glasgow. However, a different possibility has emerged, which could be considered just as logical, if not more so. Damian Priest could potentially cash in at Lincoln Financial Field and challenge McIntyre at the OVO Hydro Arena, where the latter would finally have the opportunity to shine in his home country.

If Priest decides to cash in after The Scottish Warrior defeats Rollins, it will create a second unforgettable moment at ‘Mania and generate a massive reaction from the hometown crowd. This strategic move will also prevent WWE from wasting the MITB contract for a second consecutive year.
