Damian Priest Reveals How He Focused On The Six Man Tag Team Match At Hell in a Cell
The next member of the stable did not get announced at Hell in a Cell but on the next night on Monday Night RAW. It turned out to be one of the biggest Rivals of the stable Finn Balor himself. But it was not a big shocker since it had been rumoured already. It was the first heel turn of Finn in his WWE career.
The biggest shocker came after Finn Balor join the stable, the whole stable of the Judgement Day betrayed their own leader Edge. They gave a massive beat down to the Rated R Superstar. This might have been quite shocking but fans feared that this might be the end of the Judgement Day since other members are not strong enough to lead such a stable.
Damian Priest who is also a former WWE NXT North American champion recently spoke to The Battlegrounds podcast where he talked about his match at the Hell in a Cell pay per view event and his focus on the match before going into it. He said;
“We’re so focused right now on what’s at hand, right? We got Hell in a Cell, we got the six-person tag, it’s a big deal. We got to come in firing on all cylinders and make this really special, you know, but the goal is always the same.
“From Monday to Monday, premium live event to premium live event, create a moment, and do something special. Let them keep talking about it the next day or the week after, the next year, you know what I mean? So, that’s where we’re at right now. As soon as we’re done and, we’ve now dominated this part of what we’re doing, where are we dominating next?
“I just made reference to somebody else joining, that could be a thing,” Priest continued. “He’s also made a reference to us winning all the titles. So at some point, we’re gonna have to start facing some champions. So there’s that. So it’s, it’s all open season for us, man. Rhea has to go out there and continue dominating the women’s division, but she’s going to do it on a different level now.
“If the girls had a tough time dealing with her before, they stand even less of a chance now. She’s just on a different level mentally, and I see it. Now physically, she’s training in [such] a different way that she’s even — I mean, I had to tell her the other day, ‘You’ve got to slow down. You are making Edge and I look bad.”
