Damian Priest of Judgment Day is receiving a big push recently and it was cemented after he won the Money in the Bank ladder match. Money in the Bank is one of the major PLEs of WWE and this year it took place this Saturday. It is indeed the best PLE of WWE of 2023 so far and it featured some excellent matches as well as some huge surprises.
Damian Priest was one of the favourites to win this match alongside LA Knight. But Priest finally conquered the ladder match and he now has the opportunity to cash his contract in any time he wishes. Speaking on WWE’s The Bump recently, Priest expressed his happiness on winning the MITB match;

A Moment to Remember: Damian Priest’s Journey to the Top in His Money In The Bank Ladder Match Win
“I was loving it,” he said. “You got a bunch of bodies that I could just wail on with ladders and stuff, so that’s fun. But as far as groove, it’s kinda hard. Your head is on a swivel. There’s just so many moving parts. Everybody’s trying to do the same thing: Grab that briefcase. The entire time you felt desperation.
“From bell to bell, it was insane, so I don’t think anybody ever got into a strict groove because as soon as you feel like you’re gaining momentum, there was somebody there to start theirs. And then somebody there to start theirs. It’s just nonstop. That’s why these matches are so unpredictable. They’re just nonstop action. While one person is getting knocked down, somebody else is going to be standing there behind them. You never get into a groove.”

Damian Priest Is Still A Heel
“I grabbed it and I was like, ‘This just happened. This is happening. This is real. I did it,'” Priest said. “It’s one of those accomplishments that you wish for [and] you dream about, but dreams are that. They’re dreams. They’re not reality. And when you can achieve something like this … Inside I felt like a ball of emotions. It was wild.
“That satisfaction of achievement for something you’ve been working towards. I remember months ago when I mistakenly said Money in the Bank as the PLE instead of Elimination Chamber and at moment [I knew] I gotta win this match. I gotta be in it and I gotta win it. It’s like I saw the future. For me, it was a special moment for sure.”

WWE already teased a potential babyface turn Priest as he already started to have issues with Finn Balor. There are rumours that Priest would soon be kicked out of the Judgment Day and he would turn babyface to start a feud with Finn Balor and the Judgment Day. He has big chances of winning the World Heavyweight title soon.
