In WWE, behind every successful superstar lies a mastermind who helps shape their career. In the case of Damian Priest, that mastermind is none other than Paul Heyman. According to a recent report, Heyman has been working with Priest for approximately 8-10 months, playing a crucial role in his growth and development on WWE TV. The result? Priest’s rise to stardom as the leader of The Judgment Day.
Priest’s journey to the top is an impressive one. From his days in NXT to becoming Mr. Money in the Bank, he has consistently proven himself as a force to be reckoned with. And now, as the World Heavyweight Champion, Priest has cemented his position as one of the heavy hitters on RAW. His recent title defense against Jey Uso at Backlash only solidified his position at the top.
However, The Judgment Day has faced its fair share of challenges in recent weeks. Injuries to Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio have weakened the group, making them vulnerable to new threats on RAW. The recent draft has brought in fresh talent looking to make a name for themselves, and The Judgment Day has become a prime target. Interference from newcomers has added an extra layer of complexity to the group’s dynamics.
Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre has been pushing for a shot at Priest’s title, and rumors suggest that this match might take place at Clash at the Castle, where McIntyre will be in front of his hometown crowd. However, it seems that The Judgment Day has more pressing concerns, namely Braun Strowman, who has been wreaking havoc on the group. The coming weeks will likely see The Judgment Day focusing on Strowman, as they try to contain the damage.
Despite the ups and downs, one thing is clear: Damian Priest’s rise to stardom is a testament to Paul Heyman’s guidance and mentorship. As The Judgment Day navigates these challenging times, one can’t help but wonder what other tricks Heyman has up his sleeve to ensure Priest’s continued success.
