Former WWE champion and CCO of WWE Triple H, the man behind all booking WWE now, was asked on the post-show presser of Money in the Bank 2024 about the Damian Priest failing to kick out on time, causing a major botch.
Triple H was looking unbothered and came out in support of Damian Priest, expressing that humans make mistakes in the ring, and it's familiar. He knows that if he were involved at the moment as a talent, that would be the only thing he might have thought about, and that’s why he knows how Damian must be feeling.
Hunter further said, “ it’s a shame that that’s all people will talk about and that’s all people will hit Damian Priest with while he had a phenomenal performance tonight. But a bunch of people will attack that, criticise that, comment on that,”
He added, “I wish I could just go in the back, shut off his phone, have no-one talk to him for a while, and just have him think about all the other great stuff that happened in that and the roll that he’s been on, and how great of a job he has done as World Champion.”
Triple H ended the conversation about the botch by praising Damian Priest, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and CM Punk for their phenomenal effort in crafting that match as one of the best matches on the card, with so much storytelling in it.
