Damian Priest sets the record straight about the botched pin attempt at WWE Money in the Bank 2024

At the 2024 WWE Money in the Bank PLE, there was a pinfall botch during world heavyweight champion Damian Priest’s match against Seth Rollins. Rollins went for the cover after hitting a falcon arrow and Priest didn’t kick out but the referee stopped the count.

While speaking to Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, Priest set the record straight about the botched pin attempt…

“The idea that I forgot to kick out, that not a thing. We don’t forget to kick out. Twenty years in, I’m pretty sure there is some kind of muscle memory there. So me forgetting was not the case. There was nothing outside that was supposed to happen. It was a matter of there was a situation, but I’m OK.

Everybody’s fine, the story continues. It doesn’t affect anything. The show goes on and I think fans are very invested in everything that’s going on. The ones that matter knew the situation and nobody thought twice about it. It was, move on.”
