Help! Police! Someone call the cops!

We've got a thief on our hands after Crown Jewel, and his name is one Sami Zayn. The beloved babyface nabbed Damian Priest's Money In The Bank briefcase right as the Judgment Day man was set to cash in during the opening World Title match. Then, Zayn sprinted away through the crowd with a smile on his chops.

Scripting a story that sees Sami keep on running and evading Priest for a month or two sounds fun. Then, perhaps they could work a ladder match on Raw for the contract and take it from there. Damian ain't cashing in any time soon anyway, that seems certain.

Something else is lurking in the background that some might've forgotten though. Hell, WWE themselves might not have thought about this possible plot point. It'd really shake things up and reveal JD McDonagh to be the true mastermind in this equation.

What if...
