In a recent interview, WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley offered her perspective on the next potential contender for the coveted top spot in WWE, currently held by Roman Reigns. Ripley, a prominent member of the formidable Judgement Day group in WWE, named Damian Priest as a deserving successor to the esteemed position.
“Damian is ready for anything,” Ripley said during the interview. “I’ve known this man pretty much the entire time that I’ve been in NXT. I came to the main roster at the exact same time as him. We did our initiation together. I know what he’s capable of, and I think that the sky’s the limit. If he wants to get whatever gold he wants, I think he can do it.”
Damian Priest, also known as Mr. Money In The Bank, has been making waves in the WWE scene since his transition from Ring of Honor to the NXT roster. Significant transformations in match quality, promo skills, and physique have marked his journey. Upon his move to the main roster, Priest achieved rapid success, notably securing a United States Championship run.
With his current status as Mr. Money In The Bank and a tag champion alongside Finn Balor, Priest is a standout figure in the Judgement Day group. Following a stellar performance at Backlash against Bad Bunny, Priest has gained considerable attention from WWE decision-makers. As WWE plans to elevate Judgement Day as a significant faction, Priest could potentially emerge as its leading figure, particularly if he capitalizes on the title shot earned at Money in the Bank.
While Roman Reigns continues to dominate the WWE landscape as the Universal Champion, the possibility of Priest utilizing his Money In The Bank contract for a title match against Reigns is becoming increasingly likely. As Judgement Day gains momentum and further crossovers with The Bloodline occur on Friday Night SmackDown, the anticipation for Priest’s potential ascent to the top spot in WWE continues to grow.
With Ripley’s endorsement and the WWE Universe eagerly watching, the question remains: Could Damian Priest be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns and claim the throne as the WWE’s top performer? Only time will tell.
