Damian Priest won the 2023 men’s Money in the Bank ladder match Saturday at the Money in the Bank premium live event in London, earning a future championship match at a time and place of their choice.

This year’s men’s Money in the Bank ladder match was unique in that it featured seven Superstars who have never held a world title in WWE, which meant winning would completely change the career path for any of them.

A series of qualifying matches were held on Raw and SmackDown to determine the participants, so most of the field earned their way in.

Ricochet beat The Miz, Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Bronson Reed, LA Knight beat Montez Ford, Butch defeated Baron Corbin, Santos Escobar beat Mustafa Ali and Damien Priest defeated Matt Riddle.

It seemed at that point that the field was set at six competitors, but a curveball was thrown into the mix just a couple of weeks before Money in the Bank.

Logan Paul made his return to WWE programming on the June 19 episode of Raw in his hometown of Cleveland, marking his first televised appearance since losing to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 39.

Paul cut a promo from atop a ladder and announced that he had entered the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, which led to the other participants interrupting him and starting a brawl.

Ultimately, Paul got the better of them in the melee, scaled the ladder and grabbed the briefcase, which left fans to wonder if it was a sign of things to come.

Priest is a star on the rise and key member of The Judgment Day, and the recent upswing in his positioning on the card likely played a role in his Money in the Bank win.

With Finn Balor, Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio backing him up, and the Money in the Bank contract in tow, Priest is now just one win away from becoming a world champion.
