United States Champion – Judgment Day

United States Title win

Priest continued his feud with The Miz after WrestleMania 37 and ultimately he received a strong victory over the two times WWE Champion. He kept on receiving strong mid card booking as he defeated Sheamus at SummerSlam 2021 to win the WWE United States Championship.

Heel turn

He had an excellent rain of over six months before he finally dropped the Championship to Finn Balor just before WrestleMania 38 and this was the first time he turned heel on the main roster. Everyone was expecting him to continue feuding for the WWE United States Championship and this time as a heel.

Alliance with Edge

But things took a completely different direction when he allied with Edge at WrestleMania 38 and formed the Judgement Day. The group kept on expanding as Rhea Ripley joined the faction too just after a month. The faction was looking really strong and Priest remained one of the most valuable members of it.

The Judgment Day

But after a number of months, the stable decided to betray their original leader Edge and establish Finn Balor as their new leader. Dominik Mysterio also joined the stable in form of a new member and the stable went on being one of the biggest threats of Monday Night RAW. Priest remained one of the most valuable members of it.

The Judgment Day kept on growing and it became the biggest deal of Monday Night RAW. Priest also remained one of the most valuable and the oldest member of it. He kept on receiving success both as a singles competitor and as a team. WWE not only has big plans for the stable but for Priest as a singles athlete as well.

Money in the Bank – Tag Team Champion

This year he went on to win the Money in the Bank ladder match which clearly means that he has a huge chance of winning a world championship in the near future. Recently he won the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship along with his Judgement Day teammate Finn Balor. They defeated the team of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to win the titles.

Currently, Priest is doing an excellent job both as a team wrestler and a singles wrestler. There are big possibilities that he would go on to feud with Finn Balor soon. There are big rumours that he would face the formal WWE Universal Champion at WrestleMania 40 in a one on one match. Moreover, we can expect Priest to win the World Heavyweight Championship soon.

Iconic Quotes From Damian Priest

“”I’m a proud friend (Rhea Ripley), you know what I mean? That’s my homie. Seeing her finally let loose — obviously she accumulated so many championships, accolades already — and she was just in handcuffs. Now she’s letting loose, so she’s not even to where she’s gonna be.”
