Damian Priest makes non-WWE appearance; given new role

Damian Priest is one of the top stars in WWE. He recently made an appearance outside the company.

Since debuting on the main roster, Damian Priest has been on the receiving end of a major push. Being part of The Judgment Day helped take his career to the next level. He reached the peak of his career last year when he finally won the World Heavyweight Championship after cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on Drew McIntyre. Despite losing the title, The Archer of Infamy still remains one of the top stars in the sports entertainment juggernaut.

Outside of wrestling, Priest is a big baseball fan. The WWE star recently attended a Savannah Bananas game, which was held at Yankee Stadium in New York City. He appeared in a skit where he was blindfolded and had the role of finding a banana in the field with the help of the crowd.

Vince Russo feels WWE is not done with the current Damian Priest storyline

Damian Priest and Aleister Black have been feuding ever since the latter hit the former with a Black Mass backstage. The two locked horns on the August 1 episode of SmackDown. However, their match ended in a DQ. On the September 5 episode of the blue brand, they faced off again. Black won the match after he blocked Priest's attempt at the South of Heaven chokeslam using the referee.

Speaking on an episode of BroDown on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Vince Russo said that given the way their last match ended, WWE might not be done with this storyline.

"I do love the fact about the promo where he said, You know, he went away and he came back and nothing had changed. There was a little truth to that, and you know, that he basically came back, and it's the same stuff. He's in the same spot, but you know those are the things you got to really pick up on, man, because that's where the frustrations are coming through. An awkward finish with the ref spot, but this just tells me they're going to just continue on with this Priest and Black angle," Russo said.

It will be interesting to see where this storyline between Damian Priest and Aleister Black leads.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
