Damian Priest Grants Drew McIntyre Future Shot for His WWE World Title at Monday’s RAW Show

Monday’s WWE RAW show featured the announcement of a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match of Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest (c) for a future show.

This match was setup following an in-ring promo segment involving McIntyre and Priest. McIntyre came out to the ring and proceeded to insult CM Punk claiming that the Punk is not at tonight’s show since he only shows up for the big towns and the greatest trick Punk ever pulled was “looking like a drug addict without taking any drugs.” McIntyre continued stating “actually the greatest trick he’s ever pulled is getting people to trust him time and time again no matter how many times he breaks your trust.” After some more words, McIntyre responded to the crowd interrupting him saying that he does not like talking to people like they are stupid but “if you’re a CM Punk fan, you’re stupid.” After some more words bashing Punk’s antics last week, McIntyre stated that he will eventually get his hands on Punk and torture him and Punk will beg him to tear his tricep. After some more words, McIntyre turned his attention towards Jey Uso and claimed that Uso lost another title match that was meant to be for him instead and Uso’s reward is his spot in the King of the Ring tournament. McIntyre then stated that his number one thing on his priority list is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and the “paper champion” Damian Priest.

Before McIntyre could continue, Priest’s music played interrupting McIntyre and made his way to the ring. After some banter between the two, Priest claimed that Priest as champion is a case of the title making the man and the RAW title is in its infant stages and needs a “man” to make the title, which he stated was him. McIntyre claimed that Priest knew he couldn’t beat him one-on-one, so he used the briefcase instead. Priest responded stating that McIntyre needs to stop because he’s delusional and blaming everyone else for his failures. After some more words between the two, Priest stated that he wanted to cash in on Seth Rollins and then they could have gone to war at WrestleMania but McIntyre stopped him from cashing in multiple times. Priest stated that was McIntyre’s fault and talked about how he could still be champion had he just walked away with his wife but he let his issues with CM Punk get the better of him and made Punk be more important than himself, his wife, and his title. Priest then mocked McIntyre for getting beaten up by a one arm man.

Priest then stated that McIntyre’s elbow will heal and he will be cleared and if he wants a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, then he’s got it. Priest then stated that McIntyre can call him a paper champion all he wants but when he is done with him, he will make him eat those words.
