Current Money in the Bank holder, Damian Priest has received a ton of criticism for failing to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase.

Priest has had endless opportunities to cash in the prestigious briefcase, yet WWE have been unwilling to commit to having Priest call his shot.

In a recent interview with The West Sport, Senior Money in the Bank claimed that it’s legitimately impossible for him to cash in on Rollins, as Rollins isn’t medically cleared:

“Well obviously, I’m based on Raw and being that Seth Rollins is the champion unfortunately he’s not medically cleared, so I can’t cash in right now because officially he can’t be in a match. So I kinda have to just wait until he’s cleared or you know, if I find myself on the other show, it’d be different, but that champion isn’t around all the time either. “It’s one of those things about me binding my time. I still have until July 1st, I have plenty of time, so I’m just, I don’t want to risk doing something I shouldn’t, you know. Like you said, five times I’ve attempted but didn’t cash in. I’d rather that than a failed cash in, right?...”

Priest continued by saying:

"So I’m just being extra careful right now because this is not gonna go to waste. In my head, I have to become World Champion, whether it’s on Raw or SmackDown. Either way, I have to become a major titleholder and I have to be extra careful about it. So I still have time and obviously we got WrestleMania coming up, and that’s always a good time around that. Whether it be Mania or the SmackDown before, the Raw after, it’s always an exciting time, so you never know what could happen.”

WWE have never truly committed to this rule in the past. It was declared a rule back in 2011 with Daniel Bryan attempting to cash-in on Mark Henry, yet there have been numerous times that the Money in the Bank holder has cashed-in on an injured champion.
