Drew McIntyre Wins The WWE Heavyweight Championship, Immediately Gets Cashed In On By Damian Priest
Damian Priest is your new WWE Heavyweight Champion.
The Scottish Warrior defeated Seth Rollins in the opening matchup of tonight’s WrestleMania XL premium live event after hitting a series of claymores. McIntyre celebrated finally winning a world title in front of fans, but the celebration was short-lived.
McIntyre decided to gloat by rubbing it into CM Punk’s face, who was on commentary for the match. Punk would eventually attack McIntyre and beat him down, giving Damian Priest a window to cash-in. One chokeslam later…and we have a new world champion.
