Damian Priest who has also been a WWE United States champion and recently dropped it to Finn Balor spoke to ViBe & Wrestling where he talked about the split personality gimmick that he is having right now. He said;
“The idea I had had until now was to help others, as I did with Bad Bunny, Humberto, Sheamus, and even with the problems I’ve had with Lashley because of Goldberg’s son, and I think it’s time to focus on myself and that is the change.
“What happens is that not everyone liked that and now I’m focused on my career, and there were fans who changed their opinion of me. They considered me a ‘guardian angel’, and now that has been broken and I am going to be a little different, a little rougher, a little meaner, and I am going to enjoy it”.
