Damian Priest Reflects On Starting To Work With Edge
Priest had a great run as the United States champion but he dropped the title to Finn Balor before WrestleMania 38 and he joined forces with Edge at the grandest stage of them all. Since then he had been working as the member of the newly formed stable Judgement Day. Currently it is one of the biggest attractions of Monday Night RAW.
Apart from him, former WWE Raw Women’s champion Rhea Ripley has also joined the stable recently at the WrestleMania Backlash pay per view event. There are rumours of more wrestlers joining the stable soon. NXT star Harland was rumoured to join the stable but he was recently released. Finn Balor recently joined the stable too. The future was looking really bright for the Judgement Day until Edge was betrayed by the rest of the members.
Damian Priest who is currently working as the member of WWE stable Judgement Day led by WWE Hall of Famer Edge recently spoke to Military News where he talked about starting to work with the former 11 times WWE World Champion. He said;
“It’s funny, since my time in NXT, Edge and I have had conversations about getting together and doing some business together,” Priest revealed. “We have a lot of similarities and I have been very open about how many people and idols I look up to and Edge is clearly one of them.
“Everything has to do with timing. I kept pushing through. Every time we speak I would say, hey by the way, if you ever want to do stuff…. I text him all the time for advice or call him and he is very cool for me to throw ideas at him and give me his opinion.
“Finally we came to a spot where I did not know what direction I was going to go and he was open to new ideas. He said maybe I’II reform another group or team up with somebody and he said to me, what do you think, do you want to pair up? HE asked ME. That’s how it went down. He came up to me and said, ‘Would you be interested in this?’ I said, ‘Absolutely, why are you asking me, this is totally what we are doing.’”
