Cody Rhodes discusses Damian Priest.
Damian Priest has been considered a main event player since The Judgment Day rebelled against their leader Edge last year. Then, at Money In The Bank 2023, Priest was able to capture the Money In The Bank briefcase. While he has had every cash in attempt so far foiled, he remains one half of the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions alongside Finn Balor.
Most recently, Priest went one on one with Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel. Priest would take the fight to Rhodes, however, in the end Cody would come out the victor.
Speaking on Gabby AF, Rhodes reflected on his match against Damian Priest at WWE Crown Jewel.
“Going into the match, I feel like I want to give credit, I know you referred to him as annoying, and there’s love/hate, I want credit to Damian Priest. Not for anything he’s done recently. I want to give him credit because I wrestled him at Ring of Honor during the Ring of Honor renaissance that me and Matt and Nick, and we had Roland there, and he’s a completely different individual. To me, that’s a sign of a true pro is, are you better tomorrow than you were today? Fans aren’t always the most patient, but then also they’re the most loyal. So as long as you continue to improve, you can attach to them at some point. I feel like he has a very large future, not just because the briefcase is in hand, but just looking back at what he did with Bad Bunny at Backlash as well, I feel like he has a large future. Across from me, not gonna happen. But he’s definitely a big player for WWE,”
