I got f***ing hyped when I heard my dude was going through with it. Smartest thing in the planet? Probably f***ing not lol But he wants it. I’m pulling for it to go smoothly.
Priest does look like a bit of a joke, but he’s always been blegh to me, so tomayto, tomahto.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

He's not cutting that promo last night without knowing he's going to be cleared for Mania

Not being in matches is not necessarily the same thing as being invisible, of course.
They could handle this the Reigns way. But hopefully instead they'll have Rollins in the meantime doing backstage segments and in-ring promos, heck even guest commentary to keep the angle and build-up going.
I don't know if he'll be 100% by WrestleMania, but he'll be a lot more likely to be given this rehab time.
I'm glad they're erring on the side of caution here. And if the rehab looks to be going poorly, they can still fudge something.
This happens at Elimination Chamber time, though, I think they'd have had to vacate.

Is there at least an onscreen reason for Priest not cashing in on the injured world champ, or is everyone just ignoring it?

That’s storyline, from what I’ve read he’ll definitely be cleared for Mania. Also, it’s not a full 3 months it’s about 9-10 weeks of programming (and he can still cut promos) that encompasses two gimmick PPVs that don’t really need world title matches. Cool, still hate this decision and think it's one of the worst of the HHH era by a large margin. If I thought Damien Priest looked bad before, that dude looks embarrassing now. I guess “worst decision” is relative meaning it’s still a pretty good decision considering how well Triple H has done. Also Priest is like the 10th most over person on Raw, if that. I don’t think he’s really primed for a Mania season world title run.

And it still makes him look like shit, I don't even get the point of this briefcase anymore to be honest.

I transcribed the pertinent bit from Daniel Cormier's ESPN MMA cast.

If Seth is indeed able to make it back that quickly it does kind of make more sense (though they really should've explained it on-air) why they didn't break the Priest glass. Might be more important to have it in the back pocket in case Seth's condition gets worse than to blow it now.

I feel like with this and the Punk promo some people are forgetting that this is first and foremost a show, they don't have to tell you the truth.
Rollins being the fighting world champion going into Wrestlemania to defend his title not at 100% is far more compelling than "yeah I'm injured but I'll be cleared a few weeks before Mania, see ya in a month!"
