Damian Priest believes that The Judgment Day receives more credit and recognition.
Formed back in April 2022, the group consisting of Preist, Rhea Ripley, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh have 6 championship reigns, a Royal Rumble victory and 4 Slammy Awards among their accolades. However, despite their successes, they are not in discussion when fans debate who is the greatest faction of all time. With Priest’s latest accomplishment of becoming World Heavyweight Champion, he hopes that changes soon.
While appearing on The Bump, Priest was asked about his recent victory at WrestleMania 40 and if it is also a win for The Judgment Day:
“Absolutely. I talk about representing culture and my background, but I also represent the Judgment Day. We all represent each other. But winning the world title means a lot for us. It solidifies the group. We have Rhea, the women’s world champion, me, the men’s world champion. I think you look at the history of factions, where does that put the Judgment Day? We’ve had undisputed [tag] titles, we’ve had North American Titles, now we have world titles. I don’t know see how we’re not in the conversation for one of the best factions of all time,”
Damian Priest won the World Heavyweight Championship by successfully cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on Drew McIntyre, who defeated Seth Rollins to become the new champion in the opening match of night 2. McIntyre would gloat about his victory in front of CM Punk before being attacked by Punk to set up Preist’s opportunity.
Damian Priest Discusses New Entrance Theme
The recent title win is not the only change to Priest’s presentation. On the Raw after WrestleMania, Preist debuted a new entrance theme as part of the celebrations. During the same interview, Damian Priest elaborated on the creative process to create the new theme.
