WWE Superstars are well aware that their travel plans can change unexpectedly due to various issues on the road. This week, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest faced such a situation, causing a change in plans for SmackDown.
SmackDown took place at Madison Square Garden, and a big dark match was planned for the fans. Jey Uso was supposed to take on Priest after the show ended.
Sean Ross Sapp reported on Fightful Select that although the Priest vs. Uso match was scheduled, it didn’t happen. “Travel woes” were cited as the reason for the change.
“Damian Priest was scheduled for the main event dark match against Jey Uso. He couldn’t make it due to travel woes.”
Damian Priest is coming off a big win against Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle. That storyline has since shifted to more Drew vs. Punk drama, allowing Priest to focus on his own storyline.
Priest will defend his title against Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank. If Priest wins, Rollins can never challenge for the title as long as Priest is champion. If Rollins wins, Priest must leave The Judgment Day.
As Priest looks forward to Money in the Bank, it will be interesting to see who picks up the briefcase next, since cashing in that contract made Priest a champion at WrestleMania 40.
Ringside News will have more on this story and many more from the pro wrestling world. You never know what will break next, but we will be here with all the headlines you need.
