It looks like Damian Priest won't be cashing in his contract for a guaranteed WWE title match any time soon. Live during WWE's Crown Jewel event on Saturday, the briefcase was stolen on-camera, just after Priest came out to use it. Video of the moment is below for those who aren't watching Crown Jewel on Peacock. (You can find subscription information for Peacock, which streams WWE Premium Live events, at this link.)

Priest came out just minutes after Seth Rollins defeated Drew McIntyre in the Crown Jewel main card's first match, retaining the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Priest — nicknamed "Señor Money in the Bank" after winning the Money in the Bank ladder match back on July 1 — came out with a referee in tow to cash in the contract. (The Money in the Bank contract guarantees the holder a title opportunity at any time, no matter the condition of the champion.) However, just as he handed the briefcase containing the contract over to officials, a hooded figure swiped it.

The hooded figure attacked Priest, then revealed themselves to be Sami Zayn. Zayn, who has been feuding with Priest's stable The Judgement Day, then hightailed it into the crowd, infuriating Priest, who cannot cash in the contract without it being in his possession. Rollins was shown smirking and relieved in the ring as Zayn made his way out of Mohammed Abdu Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The storyline is likely to continue later in the Crown Jewel broadcast on Peacock. Priest is set for a proper one-on-one match during the event against Cody Rhodes. Zayn might not be around, though. He's already had his Crown Jewel match, which went down during the event's kick-off show. He successfully beat JD McDonagh, an associate of The Judgement Day. Expect to hear more about Zayn's heist during Monday night's episode of WWE Raw; both Priest and Zayn appear as regular roster members for the USA Network series.
