Damian Priest Earns Locker Room Respect – Damian Priest has earned considerable respect behind the scenes in WWE, with many in the locker room praising his resilience and grit over the last several months.
According to a report from PWInsider, Priest has been quietly dealing with multiple injuries during his ongoing feud with Drew McIntyre but has continued to perform at a high level without taking extended time off. The rivalry between the two has been physically intense, with both men delivering stiff shots and hard-hitting performances during recent encounters on RAW and at live events.
Despite being “pretty banged up,” Priest is set to return to in-ring competition at Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24, where he’ll go one-on-one with McIntyre inside a steel cage. The match is expected to be one of the most brutal of the night, and sources note that Priest is determined to power through the pain and deliver a memorable performance.
The steel cage stipulation was added to prevent outside interference and ensure a decisive outcome. With both men coming off a string of increasingly personal attacks, the match could mark a turning point in their rivalry—or potentially the end of it.
Priest’s toughness and commitment haven’t gone unnoticed backstage, with one source describing him as “one of the hardest workers on the roster right now.”
