Seth Rollins made a surprise appearance on WWE RAW, marking his return to the ring since WrestleMania XL. Rollins faced Damian Priest on RAW, with Priest successfully defending his World Heavyweight Championship. The two will face each other again at Money in the Bank.
The upcoming match at Money in the Bank will be significant for both wrestlers. For Rollins, it will provide an opportunity to regain the championship, while for Priest, it will be a chance to build momentum before his match against Gunther at SummerSlam.
Rollins’ return is crucial for WWE, given the number of injured stars. Charlotte Flair, Asuka, CM Punk, Dominik Mysterio, Bobby Lashley, and more are currently sidelined due to injuries. Rollins’ return brings a much-needed star power to RAW, with his title match already creating a buzz.
Rollins’ match against Priest will also help build Priest’s credibility as a champion. With Gunther’s victory in the King of the Ring tournament, Priest’s title defense against Rollins will be a significant match. If Priest defeats Rollins, he will have a stronger case as a worthy opponent for Gunther at SummerSlam.
Another reason for Rollins’ return is that Drew McIntyre may not be focused on going after the title. McIntyre’s obsession with CM Punk cost him the championship at WrestleMania XL, and he may target Punk instead of pursuing the title.
Rollins’ return is a significant development for WWE. His match against Priest is an opportunity for Priest to establish himself as a formidable champion. With many stars currently injured, Rollins’ return brings much-needed star power, creating excitement for his upcoming title match.
