As SummerSlam, World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins will once again go head-to-head with The Judgment Day's Finn Bálor, with Señor Money in the Bank Damian Priest surely lurking in the shadows.
At WWE Money in the Bank, Rollins overcame Bálor in a hard-fought showdown for the World Heavyweight Title. With Bálor's fellow Judgment Day member Priest appearing mid-match with his newly-captured Money in the Bank contract in hand, though, the outcome of the match left a bad taste in the The Prince's mouth.
After the title matchup, Bálor voiced his issues with Priest about what happened at the Premium Live Event. Priest fired back that he was only at ringside to intimidate Rollins before making it clear that he would be World Champion sooner or later. As a result, speculation began to run wild over the subsequent weeks regarding the future of The Judgment Day.
All speculation seemed to disappear on the July 10 edition of Raw, however, when Señor Money in the Bank and Bálor worked together with “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio to execute a 3-on-1 attack on Rollins before working in perfect tag team precision to overcome The Visionary and Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a Six-Man Tag Team Match. Is the controversy truly over between the members of the dark faction?

The following week, a refocused Bálor launched a surprise attack on Rollins as the titleholder was taking part in a sit-down interview, and it was only a matter of time before a rematch at SummerSlam was made.
Will the tension between Bálor and Priest resurface? Will Priest cash in despite his connection to The Prince? Or will Rollins continue his incredible run to once again reign supreme over his challenger?
