Less than 15 minutes later, Damian Priest said that he accepts the challenge and that everyone else should consider it closed. WWE made the bout official during the June 2 episode of SmackDown. This will be Priest's first singles title match since March 2022 when he challenged his fellow Judgment Day brother Finn Balor for the United States Championship.

Rollins became the inaugural World Heavyweight Championship at the Night Of Champions premium live event on Saturday, May 27. 'The Revolutionary' secured his place in history by defeating SmackDown's AJ Styles. On the May 29 episode of Monday Night Raw, Rollins and Styles teamed together in a tag team match against The Judgment Day.
