No, and not just because of the credibility difference at this point in time… Dude’s in a f***in’ ladder match on this card. He’s gonna be just as banged up as the world champions are, possibly more.

Looking at holders who had the case this late into the game, Dolph Ziggler was in a tag match with Big E against Daniel Bryan and Kane, and Rollins was taking on Orton. Neither of them got absolutely battered in those matches.

Still hoping for a MitB PPV Tom f***ery with someone beating Seth, Priest cashing in finally on that guy, and then that night's winner cashing in on Priest.

Quite a few cash-ins have taken place the same night as a ladder match, though to this point always for the MITB briefcase itself.

Rock makes Priest give the briefcase to Rock and Rock cashes in on Seth to win the world title on Night 2.

[krozor]

Cashes in his briefcase during the tag title match he's already champion in, confusing everybody. Retrieves the belts, puts his on, then gives the other belt to Truth, also confusing everyone but now as a face.

[cosmo]

If he cashes in, he gets splattered in 30 seconds by either Roman or Seth and that's it.

But at the rate it's going, I think he's gonna end up being the first MITB winner to let the briefcase just expire.

I'm not big on "Cody's Story" so my biggest wish is that Wrestlemania ends with Priest as Champion, and not Seth's worthless consolation prize title. The real champion.
Cody wining and "finishing his story" only for Priest to immediately take the title from him is a way to have a satisfying ending and a teas all in one. He finished it, but also he didn't. They can ride that for another few months.

Seems like they might well be angling at something after all. Not sure how else to read that bit with Priest saying something about it being a big night for him individually and Rhea pressing him on if he has anything planned with him blowing it off.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

sure wonder what the heck they’ve got up their sleeve for this one. that was a real interesting promo but would they actually have him win either title?

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

I could see him trying with Seth & Drew and I hope he loses.

Maybe he's gonna cash in on her

[Woo]

No. Priest will lose his cash-in, so to save face, he needs to issue the title challenge in advance.

[Clawley Race]

A think a decent idea would be have Damien become number one contender for either title after WM. He would be able to challenge the champion saying they have to beat him twice. It would open up several possibilites.

Either he wins on the first try and run that same 'you have to beat me twice' gimmick. OR, after a lengthy match Judgement Day all hops in and beats down the face champ for a DQ, and he cashes in for an easy win.

[The Rick Jericho]

I feel it's gonna be a miscommunication that costs them the tag titles.

Then when DP tries to cash-in, FINN clocks him with it and turns face and JD does indeed die at Wrestlemania.

Finn goes face.
DP stays heel.
Rhea goes solo.
Dominik joins Legado.
JD is a loser.

So yeah, that's what happens with JD at Mania.

They could maybe do a storyline where he has JD replace him in the ladder match so he can cash in at Mania

Problems with that though are Priest potentially not having a chance to cash in and missing out on a match at Mania entirely kayfabe wise. Reality wise him cashing in on Drew or Cody potentially would suck.

[Lizuka #BLM]

I could maybe see them doing a thing where Seth beats Drew then Rock arranges for Damian to cash in on him afterward, but that's kind of completely derailing Drew for no reason in favor of a heel with nowhere near as much momentum as him.

That or maybe like Drew wins then Punk does something to facilitate Damian cashing in, but dunno why Damian would know about that in advance in that case.

[Mayonnaise]

Him cashing in on Seth would be that perfect bit of him getting a taste of his own medicine even though he's a face.

Just as long as he isn't stupid enough to do it on night 1 and end up in a triple threat on night 2

[cosmo]

Maybe he walks through the Forbidden Door and cashes in on Samoa Joe.

Or how about on night of Money in the Bank, after someone retains/wins a title, newly won MITB winner cashes in and wins to become new champion... then Damien Priest cashes in on new champion and wins ! So it's possible to have 4 different world champions within 10 minutes!

I think I also saw another possibility with after Rock and Roman beat Cody and Seth and Bloodline beat them down, Damien cashes in and beats Seth for WHC! Then night 2 is 3 way with Damien vs Seth vs Drew, then either Seth wins it back or Drew wins it!

[Lizuka #BLM]

Throwing this idea out there - he cashes in during Roman / Cody and Cody pins him to win he belt while still saving Roman for Rock.

Think that'd be awful but could see them doing it.
