>>15156214Or, now hear me out, the refs do their jobs and count the three. Priest kicking out is PRIEST'S fault. As we saw with the Rock v Roman fiasco for WM40, pivots CAN happen.
"We've got a new champion, Seth Freakin' Rollins!" *Drew's music hits* The mad lad is doing it, he's cashing in!" "Oh no, Punk interfered and Drew wins by DQ, but doesn't get the belt!"
That keeps Seth out of the Drew v Punk story, which he is very much involved now because Punk just cost him THIS title shot as well as all future title shots, and all it does is speed up the Judgement Day falling apart story. Instead of the inevitable removal at the hands of JD and Finn that's coming, he's just out now. They can pivot and make it so JD and Finn are happy as hell over the next coming weeks instead, but refused to say why, until they one day invite Priest out to "catch up with old friends" and just beat the shit out of him instead.
