The opening match of WWE WrestleMania 40 Night Two event saw Seth “Freakin” Rollins defend the World Heavyweight Championship against “The Scottish Warrior” Drew McIntyre. McIntyre would win the championship, only to lose it 5 minutes and 45 seconds later to Damian Priest, who cashed in his MITB briefcase on The Scottish Warrior to capture the World Heavyweight Title.
As PWMania.com previously reported, Priest had signed a new contract with WWE, and he already has his first challenger in “Main Event” Jey Uso, who won a #1 Contender’s Fatal 4-Way matchup on RAW.
Variety reports that Priest has signed a contract with Paradigm Talent Agency, who will represent the new World Heavyweight Champion across several new business ventures and avenues including books, acting, marketing and more.
Variety stated, “Paradigm will work to build his business across books, acting, marketing, unscripted and more. Priest, who was born Luis Berrios (Martinez), most recently won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship during Night 2 of WrestleMania 40 by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract against Drew McIntyre, who himself had just won the championship from Seth Rollins.”
