In the recent episode of his popular podcast, “Kliq This”, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash set aside some time to praise two prominent WWE stars- Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest. As part of the conversation, Nash had high words of praise for Priest’s performances as the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Below are some remarkable mentions from the podcast:
Commenting on Damian Priest, Nash mentioned, “Damian has, in my opinion, genuinely risen to the occasion. He has the aura of a star, seems at ease, and looks every bit the part of a champion.”
When asked about his early predictions about Priest’s fame, Nash fondly recalled, “Scott Hall and I believed in Damian’s star potential from the very beginning. Scott, especially, had an intuition about him, as did Kid [X-Pac].”
Nash also acknowledged Rhea Ripley’s influence on Priest, commenting, “Rhea is a talent we encounter once in a blue moon. When you have her by your side, doing most of the talking, it contributes to his overall package as a pro-wrestler with the championship belt.”
The current champion Priest will be up for defending his title against ex-champion Drew McIntyre at the future WWE event dubbed as ‘Clash At The Castle: Scotland’.
