WWE superstar reportedly receiving internal praise
According to a report by PWInsider, WWE Superstar Damian Priest has been receiving a lot of internal praise as of late in WWE. It’s said that he’s impressed management with his work over the last several months, including working very hard and getting through times when he’s been banged up and hurt but kept going.
Additionally, it’s said that Priest is seen as a “top-level, upper echelon talent” by the company, which was being said before he won the Money in the Bank match. It was also noted he’s continually getting rave reviews internally by WWE officials.
At WWE Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia, Cody Rhodes defeated Damian Priest in a one-on-one match. Earlier in the show, Sami Zayn thwarted Priest from cashing in his Money in the Bank Briefcase for an immediate title shot against World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
Funny. The WWE has no problem pushing Priest (41 years old), yet had concerns pushing Knight (41 years old) because of his age. Don’t get me wrong, both guys are great and should be pushed, but it seems as though Knight has had a tougher time getting that push because of his age while Priest didn’t. Sure, both had slow starts once on the main roster, but I’ve never heard Priest’s age brought up. I can’t say the same of Knight.
