Seth Rollins Retains Against Damian Priest On WWE RAW, Matt Cardona On His Indie Run
Seth Rollins survived his inaugural defense of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on this week’s episode of WWE RAW, as he overcame Damian Priest’s challenge only to get a taste of who his next opponent might be.
Monday’s show saw Rollins defeat Damian Priest to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Title that he won at WWE Night of Champions 2023.
Following the match, Finn Balor, who came through the crowd to assault Rollins and assist Priest, stepped in between the ropes and stared The Visionary down to close out the show.

In other news, former WWE Superstar Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder) celebrated his third year on the independent scene and commemorated the milestone in a new post on Twitter.
Cardona tweeted, “These 3 years (really 2 because of that f**king pandemic) being a “free agent” has been the most fun time of career. I don’t care how you define success…accolades, money, happiness…it’s been the most successful I’ve ever been in my career. Pro wrestling is all I’ve ever wanted to do…and I’m fortunate I’ve been able to do it for 20 years. F**k proving people wrong. I just want to prove my fans and myself right. Everyone has a different path. Nobody…NOBODY has been counted out (by “the office”, the fans, f**k…even myself) and has come back more times than me! If you want this (or anything) bad enough, go for it! I still am. #StillHere #AlwayzReady #IndyGod #DeathmatchKing”
