Drew McIntyre DEFEATED Seth Rollins to become the new WWE World Champion at WrestleMania 40…but lost to Damien Priest moments later thanks to CM Punk!

Drew McIntyre’s future with the company is still up in the air, but he at least thinks he now has a valuable bargaining chip after winning the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40 – and he ‘did for about three minutes.

The Scot opened the second night with Seth Rollins and immediately hit him with a Claymore Kick to start the match.

It was a quick affair, with both men emptying their tanks from the start. Rollins hit a pedigree and he landed at the top of the announce table, but four Claymore kicks over the course of the match are what it took to get the job done.

But after CM Punk attacked a jubilant McIntyre, Priest took advantage of the beating and cashed in his Money in the Bank contract.

Punk even took off his arm brace during the attack – and hit McIntyre with it – but he’s not expected to actually compete for a few months yet.

Priest brought McIntyre into the ring and it only took a single chokeslam from the 41-year-old to get the job done.

The Doomsday Man held the briefcase for 10 months and picked the perfect moment in front of over 70,000 fans in Philadelphia.

It was only one night earlier that Priest lost the undisputed tag team titles.

McIntyre’s deal with WWE will expire at the end of May and while there is hope that a deal could be reached, nothing has been signed so far.

The Scottish Warrior has discussed extending his contract just so he can perform at Clash at the Castle: Scotland in June.

However, there is every hope that the two sides can still negotiate a long-term deal.

With a feud against a returning CM Punk in the offing, one would think he has a strong incentive to stay.
