With Money in the Bank (MITB) over, people are already looking forward to next month’s SummerSlam. Still, two superstars are focused on the MITB briefcases they won.

Damian Priest won the men’s briefcase to open the show and then later, Iyo Sky captured the women’s briefcase. There is a good chance at least one of them will be champion before the year ends.

Sean Sapp noted behind Fightful’s paywall that people are very high on Priest. Since the WWE superstar receives huge backstage praise, Priest earning a guaranteed title shot does make sense.

So, when you hear a WWE superstar receives huge backstage praise, do you think Damian Priest? Will he be able to successfully cash-in?
