The action didn’t stop after SmackDown went off the air last night, as World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest put his title on the line against a formidable opponent, 23-time champion Kofi Kingston, in an electrifying post-match dark match. The crowd was treated to a thrilling contest, with Priest emerging victorious and successfully defending his championship.
Earlier in the evening, Awesome Truth took on The Judgment Day in the first dark match of the night, sending the crowd into raptures with their impressive performance. However, the main event of the post-show festivities was undoubtedly the championship match between Priest and Kingston.
Kingston, a legendary figure in the WWE with an illustrious career spanning multiple championships, including the WWE Championship, Intercontinental Championship, US Championship, and multiple tag team titles, pushed Priest to the limit. Despite his impressive credentials, Kingston was unable to dethrone the reigning champion, as Priest showcased his growing prowess as a titleholder.
Priest’s performance has been impressive, to say the least, with many fans and pundits alike praising his recent outing. His mic skills have been particularly notable, with his verbal sparring with Drew McIntyre on RAW earning him widespread acclaim. As a result, expectations for his championship reign have skyrocketed, and fans are eagerly anticipating his next move.
One such move could be a highly anticipated showdown with McIntyre, which seems increasingly likely. With the WWE’s next pay-per-view event, Clash at the Castle, just around the corner, the stage is set for a monumental clash between these two titans. Alternatively, their collision course may lead to a thrilling encounter in Jeddah, where the stakes will be higher than ever.
For now, Priest can bask in the adoration of the crowd, his championship reign still intact. However, with the likes of Kingston and McIntyre snapping at his heels, he knows he must remain vigilant to stay atop the mountain. One thing is certain – the world of WWE is watching, and the anticipation is palpable.
