Damian Priest – ‘The Judgment Day Isn’t Going Anywhere’
In recent weeks, The Judgment Day has been teasing some tension within its ranks, but Damian Priest says everything is going to be just fine.
Speaking on Wednesday’s edition of WWE’s “The Bump,” Mr. Money in the Bank commented on the situation that went down during Monday’s RAW main event, whether the tension between himself and Finn Balor may result in a split for the group, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the situation that went down on in the RAW main event: “That was one of those situations where [it was a] miscommunication. We hadn’t talked to Finn, and we weren’t sure if I gonna actually cash in. But obviously, Dom, myself and Rhea had discussed it. In the moment, Dom was like, ‘You should do it right now.’ So he gave me the briefcase, and I thought about it. I was like, ‘You know what, maybe I shouldn’t wait. Maybe I’ll do this right now.’ Unfortunately, Finn came out, and I wasn’t expecting that. It was just a lack of communication. I have a whole year with this thing if I want to, so I’m good being patient.”
On the recent tension in the group: “I guess that’s fair. Obviously, it’s no secret we were having some arguments and whatnot on-screen. The whole world could see us. So yeah, but I have siblings, we argue, but we’re still a family, it’s okay. I think that’s where Finn and I are. We’re having some disagreements. I think our focus is a little different, and our goals, and they’re just kind of stepping on each other. But that doesn’t mean that we have a personal issue with each other. We just gotta be better at communicating, that’s all.”
On distracting Balor at WWE Money in the Bank: “I was simply just standing up. I wanted Finn Balor to beat him. I was out there, not to cash in, realistically. I was there to make Seth feel the pressure of me cashing in, throw him off his game so that my buddy could beat him for the title. Unfortunately, Finn Balor, again, this is our own fault, this was a lack of communication. He thought I was trying to do something else, and his eyes drifted away from the prize, and unfortunately, he got beat. But yeah, my intention was never to cash in on Finn. Actually, I wasn’t even going to cash in on Seth in that moment. I wanted Finn Balor to win.”
On the group’s future: “We’re a machine, ain’t no stopping us. I’m not concerned at all. The Judgment Day is not going anywhere, we’re good. Like I said, families can have arguments, but they’re still a family. Nobody’s going anywhere. I am not concerned. Rhea and Dom, I’m not concerned. We’re just as good as ever. Just because we have arguments or disagreements doesn’t mean we stop ruling the WWE. We still run Monday Night Raw. The Judgment Day will always rise.”
