Damian Priest explains why he hasn't been able to cash in yet

Speaking to , Priest explained that since Rollins is not medically cleared, he can't compete in an official match.

"I'm based on Raw. Being that Seth Rollins is the champion, unfortunately, he's not medically cleared. I can't cash in right now. Officially, he can't be in a match. I kind of have to wait until he's cleared or, if I find myself on the other show, it'd be different. That champion [Roman Reigns] is not really around all the time either. It's one of those things where I'm biding my time. I still have until July 1. I have plenty of time. I don't want to risk doing something that I shouldn't. Five times, I've attempted, but didn't cash in. I'd rather that than a failed cash in. I'm just being extra careful right now. This is not going to go to waste. In my head, I have to become World Champion, whether it's on Raw or SmackDown. Either way, I have to become a major title holder and I have to be extra careful about it. I still have time. Obviously, you have WrestleMania coming up. That's always a good time. Whether it's Mania, the SmackDown before, the Raw after, it's always an exciting time. You never know what's going to happen," he said.

As he indicated, he has attempted to cash in several times, but he is thwarted before the bell rings to indicate an official cash in. Priest and Finn Balor are the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. The two men will defend their title against Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne at WWE Elimination Chamber.
