Damian Priest stunned the WWE Universe by winning the Money in the Bank 2023 ladder match. Fans expected Logan Paul or LA Knight to win the seven-ladder match. Hence, when Damian Priest unhooked the briefcase in the WWE Men’s Money in the Bank 2023 ladder match, many fans were left wondering why he won.
Priest has been one of the hardest workers in WWE. According to reports, WWE creative had been planning to reward him after his performance in the rivalry against Bad Bunny. The Puerto Rican megastar headlined Backlash 2023 with Priest in a San Juan Street Fight.
The Archer of Infamy had to bring his ‘A’ game to the table. He had to be brutal in the street fight. At the same time, he also had to ensure that a megastar like Bad Bunny did not get injured because of a botch. Since Priest did his job well, WWE have rewarded him with the Money in the Bank 2023 contract. This is why Damian Priest won Money in the Bank contract.
Why did LA Knight not win WWE Money in the Bank 2023?
The answer to why LA Knight did not win the WWE Money in the Bank contract is probably because Damian Priest was standing in the line for too long for a reward. In the past as well, Priest did his job well, but he never got the spotlight he deserved.
Meanwhile, LA Knight is just getting started as a singles star on SmackDown. It looks like fans may witness a feud between Knight and Logan Paul on the road to WWE SummerSlam. WWE may also plan a rivalry between Knight and Austin Theory for the WWE United States Championship.
Damian Priest spoke backstage in an interview after his win. He said that he will aim to win Intercontinental Championship, World Heavyweight Championship or Undisputed WWE Universal Championship by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract.
