Damian Priest still stands by his criticism of WWE’s main event scene.
On the July 24th edition of SmackDown, Damian Priest was part of a Fatal Four Way match to determine the Number 1 Contender for the Undisputed WWE Championship, then held by CM Punk.
Ahead of the match, Priest told Cody Rhodes that he was “sick of the same people being the face of this brand.” Unfortunately, Priest couldn’t change that, as he lost the match and hasn’t returned to the main event since.
During a new interview on Complex Graps, the former World Heavyweight Champion said he stood by the comment, but has realised it’s up to him to change things.
“I still stand by what I said, but the change wasn’t them, I realized it was me. I needed to make a change so I can make an impact on what I’m complaining about. That’s on me, you know what I mean?
“That comment, I still stand by it, that I’m sick and tired of seeing the same people, but that’s on me to make it different, to do something about it. That’s on everybody, that’s on everybody who’s not in that picture to do it, and that’s exactly what you see happening right now. That’s why I’m doing what I’m doing so that I can actually make a difference in that, and I can not talk about it, but I can actually be about it.”
“I’m Coming Back For What’s Mine” – Damian Priest
Damian Priest finished by warning the current main event stars, saying he was coming back for the World Title.
“I stand with what I said. I think those people are still going to always be a revolving door around the top spot and the titles and the main events because that’s the talent that they are. It doesn’t mean that there isn’t space for anybody else. That’s where I come in, I’ve been there before and it’s been too long since I’ve been there, so I’m coming back for what’s mine again.”
Damian Priest was last in action on the November 6th edition of SmackDown against Nathan Frazer. The match quickly ended in a referee stoppage when Priest threw Frazer through an announce table as well as taking down Axiom.
