WWE is set to take Damian Priest’s career to new heights following his remarkable performance in 2024. After securing the World Heavyweight Championship from Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 40 with a successful use of his Money In The Bank briefcase, Priest is in the spotlight.
Following his title defense at numerous events, he ultimately lost to GUNTHER at SummerSlam 2024.
In recent times, Priest has found himself at odds with The Judgment Day, a group led by infamous wrestler Finn Balor.
According to a report by WrestleVotes, WWE has plans to further elevate Priest’s in-ring persona.
As per the report, “We’ll start with Damian Priest as we left off with him Monday Night Raw wise, we’re informed that considerations are underway to further develop Damian Priest’s character in terms of merchandise and looks. WWE is contemplating allowing Priest to honor his Puerto Rican heritage by featuring the traditional vejigante mask. We are apologetic if our pronunciation was inaccurate. This decision was reached after studying the cultural implications of the vejigante mask. Interestingly, Priest has previously donned this mask at WrestleMania 40 during his tag team match alongside Finn Balor. We have been informed that WWE is seriously considering incorporating this attribute into his storyboard, significantly bolstering his hero persona.”
In a recent event this week on WWE RAW, Priest registered a loss against Dominik Mysterio in a solo match.
