Damian Priest, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion and member of the dominant Judgment Day stable, recently sat down with The Rob Brown Show to discuss his aspirations, passion for wrestling, and his goals as a champion. The 41-year-old wrestler, who has been making waves in the WWE for the past two years, opened up about his thoughts on pursuing a career in Hollywood and his desire to boost the WWE World Heavyweight Championship to new heights.
Priest, who cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to capture the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XL, defended his title against Jey Uso at Backlash France and is now gearing up for a highly anticipated rematch against Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle 2024 in Glasgow, Scotland. The Archer of Infamy made it clear that while the idea of becoming a movie star sounds enticing, his true passion lies in the wrestling ring.
When asked if he would trade his wrestling career for a life in films, Priest was adamant that being a WWE Superstar is where his heart belongs. “Becoming a movie star sounds enticing, but being a WWE Superstar is my true passion,” he said. This dedication to the craft is evident in his commitment to elevating the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, a goal he hopes to achieve by following in the footsteps of previous champions like Seth Rollins, who successfully elevated the title during his reign.
Priest’s focus on his wrestling career is evident in his recent confrontation with McIntyre on WWE RAW, where he called out the Scottish Warrior for blaming others for his mistakes. This tension is expected to come to a head at Clash at the Castle 2024, where Priest will put his title on the line against McIntyre in what promises to be an epic battle.
As Priest prepares for this high-stakes matchup, his determination to prove himself as a worthy champion is palpable. With his sights set on defending his title and solidifying his legacy in the WWE, the Archer of Infamy is poised to cement his place among the greatest champions in WWE history.
