Seth Rollins is one of the most beloved wrestlers in the WWE right now. “The Architect” recently won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions, defeating AJ Styles. It was a spectacular match that kept the fans glued to their seats. The outcome was unpredictable, but the fans showed support for both superstars in the end.

Seth Rollins had his first title defense during the latest episode of Raw. Seth came out to talk about his achievements and his reign as the Champion when Damien Priest and Finn Balor interrupted him. Damian Priest laid out an open challenge to Seth, and he said that he did not need any help from any of his fellow Judgment Day members.

Seth Rollins dissed Finn Balor and mocked him for his shortest WWE Universal reign. Rollins accepted Damien Priest’s challenge and fought him in the main event of Raw. The match turned out to be a great main event, as Seth retained the title and remained the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Recently, Seth shared a post on Twitter from WWE regarding his title defense. It seems the rivalry between Priest and Rollins is far from over. WWE announced that Rollins will defend his WWE World Heavyweight title against Priest on the July 7th episode of SmackDown. Rollins seemed very excited as he reacted to the post. However, the World Heavyweight Championship is a Raw exclusive title, so this news shocked the fans. But it is to be noted that it will be a dark match and not televised during the weekly SmackDown episode.

The fans are very excited about this rivalry between Seth and Judgment Day, especially Priest. It would be interesting to see how Balor fits into this storyline, as it seems Balor was upset with Priest’s comments. Maybe fans can see WWE taking this storyline from a different angle. It would be interesting to see what happens in Rollins’ next title defense.

The Judgment Day has been one of the best heel factions in WWE in recent times. The twists and turns in the storyline have kept the fans interested. They have been a dominant force on Raw, appearing week after week. However, WWE might tease tension between two of the members of The Judgment Day very soon.

On the recent episode of Raw, Damian Priest commented that he does not need Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, or Rhea Ripley to win the WWE Heavyweight Championship from Seth Rollins. The fans watched as Finn looked suspiciously at Priest. Rollins asked Priest to fight him alone, without anyone’s help. Balor tried to speak against it when he was interrupted by Priest, who said it was okay. WWE might have just told the fans that this can become a big thing in the future. Can this be the beginning of the downfall The Judgment Day?
