Roman Reigns has been on a dominant run which has seen him hold the WWE Universal Championship and the coveted WWE Championship simultaneously for some time. Moreover, the new WWE Undisputed Universal gold title meant Reigns even carried three titles with him during his entrances. Now one WWE star has the chance to emulate “The Tribal Chief” and punch Seth Rollins in the gut.
Damian Priest currently holds the prized MITB contract in his hands and hasn’t cashed in yet. However, the circumstance for Priest couldn’t have been better as his favorite target, Seth Rollins, stands in a vulnerable state. Most interestingly, if everything goes in his favor, Priest can mimic the grand entrance only Roman Reigns enjoys at WWE.
Three championships, two champions, one hunter

According to speculation, The Judgment Day member is currently at the perfect spot to create history. In fact, Priest can be the holder three championship titles at the end of Fastlane this Saturday.
Priest will enter Fastlane as the one-half of the WWE Undisputed tag team champions, holding the RAW and SmackDown straps. He and Balor will defend the titles against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. But Priest may be leaving with more gold on the night.
Priest can easily steal the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Seth Rollins, who currently has a major back issue.
His chances have especially increased after a raging Shinsuke Nakamura obliterated Rollins and targeted his injured back with steel chairs. While this has bolstered Nakamura’s chances to win the Heavyweight title at Fastlane, Priest will gain twice the benefit from it.
Priest can cash in on a vulnerable Rollins if he manages to retain the title against Nakamura in the first place. If he successfully does so, he will become only the second triple champion in WWE currently apart from Reigns.
Tribal Chief Roman Reigns may share his apex spot for the first time
While Roman Reigns only commands the authority of the Tribal Chief within The Bloodline, his apex spot overshadows the entire WWE. Reigns holds the WWE Championship, WWE Universal Championship, and the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship belts.
Moreover, his run as a champion has already crossed a thousand days. But, Damian Priest can now directly stand in the same league as Roman Reigns by donning three belts as well.

Damian Priest and Finn Balor jointly hold both the RAW and the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. If Priest defeats Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins before Fastlane, then Reigns won’t be the only one with three belts. Reigns’ run at the top is characterized by the addition of titles to his name and during his entrance we do see him holding one of the titles while the other two are carried by his Wiseman Paul Heyman.
Will Priest be able to emulate Reigns and hold three title belts at once? Fastlane is when we find this out.
