WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest held the Money in the Bank briefcase for ten months before cashing in on Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 40 (Night Two), and he reflected on the experience on this week’s episode of WWE’s “The Bump.”
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On finally cashing in MITB: “Man, it felt like I had that briefcase for years. Very happy I don’t have to travel with it anymore. Even the Money in the Bank, it was an honor to have that privilege. You look at those who have cashed in, and it’s special. It creates something special for each champion. Just being known as ‘Senor’ Money in the Bank and having my own personalized briefcase, that, to me, at the time, I was like, ‘I’ve won.’”
On winning the title at WrestleMania 40: “There are so many things that I haven’t really appreciated yet. I won a world title at WrestleMania … how many people can say that? How many champions, in the history of all those championship reigns, I’m in that list now. That alone to me is crazy.”
