WWE debuted NXT’s Damian Priest on the regular squad at the Royal Rumble event.
The company has big plans for him too, and things are sure to change big for the veteran Puerto Rican wrestler.
Rich Ucchino recently spoke to Priest about his new stint in WWE and the weeks before it happened. Priest has struggled long enough to understand the company and knows a lot can change before it officially debuted.
‘You know what it’s like in this industry, like listening to things and they tell you things, but things haven’t changed. And since it was so far away, you know, it’s one of, ‘Hey, it looks like’ … but nobody wanted to tell me directly (that I was going to go to the main list) because they all said the same thing. It was like, ‘But you know how things can change, so consider it a’ maybe ‘.
Then of course there was the ‘You could be at the Rumble’. So there is that, but also the same, ‘like that’s cool, but from now on I’m an NXT superstar. Let me focus on who I want to work with now and what I want to do here, ”he said.
Rumor has it that Damian Priest will team up with Bad Bunny at WrestleMania in what could no doubt be a giant opportunity for the hunter.
