The June 17 Monday Night episode of RAW in Corpus Christi, Texas, kicked off with a seismic surprise: Seth “Freakin” Rollins returned to WWE television after a lengthy absence since WrestleMania 40 due to knee injuries.
The WWE Universe erupted with cheers as Rollins expressed his joy at being back and immediately set his sights on reclaiming the World Heavyweight title he lost at WrestleMania. Determined to fast-track his way to championship gold, Rollins announced his intention to compete at Money in the Bank.
Interrupting this declaration was Damian Priest, fresh off a successful title defense against Drew McIntyre at WWE Clash at the Castle. While acknowledging Rollins’ stature, Priest asserted that RAW was now under his dominion.
A tense exchange followed, culminating in Priest issuing a direct challenge: a World Title match against Rollins at the upcoming WWE Money in the Bank PLE. Rollins wasted no time in accepting, marking a monumental return and setting the stage for a thrilling showdown.
